Here's a preview of part of my next Pup Parade strip. One of the things I like about doing this strip, apart from enjoying drawing the Pups, is that I get a chance to include some of the iconic Bash Street Kids sometimes too. Danny in this one for example.
See the full story in Beano No.4139, on sale Wednesday 8th June!
Now that brings an interesting question.
ReplyDeleteWith the recent influx of new pupils of class IIb, may we end up seeing additions to the core cast of pets to the pup parade cast?
I'm afraid not. Pup Parade ends in July, sadly.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it'd be difficult to feature all 15 dogs in a strip. I can't predict what the Beano will do but my opinion would be to just say that not all kids have dogs.
Fair enough.
ReplyDeleteI assume 15 was a typo, and you meant 12. But, of course, Cuthbert never had a dog added to the Pup Parade, and he's been around since the 1970s. So it's not surprising that Harsha and Mandi won't be getting dogs either.
ReplyDeleteNope, there are now 15 Bash Street Kids. 16 if we include Cuthbert. See Wednesday's Beano.
ReplyDeleteOh that's sad news. I've enjoyed seeing Pup parade back. Will they be ending all the mini-strips? I see they've added them to Bash st school. Maybe they'll get you to work on another strip. Would love to see Ivy the Terrible and Biffo back in the weekly.

I don't know what's happening to the other strips, sorry. No, they haven't offered me any replacement work so it's not looking good I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you've had work for The Beano for this time and hope its not long before Rasher etc come back,,,, you already know how I feel... hope its not too long this time..
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. Nothing anytime soon unfortunately. A very depressing time.
