# i found a bunch of old beanos in my parents house a while ago
and discovered how awful they were. somehow the whole american comic book and japanese manga completely passed me by in favour of patronising stereotypes of child bullies.

# My nana has the original mag still somwhere
the had a character called 'Richard's snitch', a kid with a loooong nose that could talk (wtf?). Anyway, i re-drew it with a witches hat and called it 'Richard's Witch ' (my pun gland was advanced back then) and got their pic of the week. I got a massive poster out of it but nothing else was said. For weeks after, readers sent in their versions of my idea, winning prizes along the way until Halloween came along, and lo and behold, they had done a FKING proper strip of it :(. They did this for a few years too.

Not that i'm bitter
