SO, it’s been just over a month since the last ever issue of The Dandy came out , and what have I been up to since then? Well, happily, I’ve been far from idle, and have now joined the ranks of The Dandy’s sister publication, The Beano !

YES! Starting with this week’s issue, you’ll be able to read some Little Plum strips wot I dun writted, like, after having been asked to do so by Beano HQ! It’s a thrill to work on a character created by the legendary Leo Baxendale (one of my heroes!) and now drawn wonderfully by Laura Howell (one of my heroines!)

I’ve done about seven or eight of these so far, and it’s been a hoot. I’ve kept to some faithful Little Plum tropes (you’ll find smoke signals, totem poles and a guest appearance from another Baxendale great), and I’ve loved every minute of it. It’s been like writing for some great celebrity or film star or something, except better as Plum doesn’t answer back, get stroppy, and hide in his trailer.

There’s been talk of some more Beano-based script work in the future, so watch this space! And remember: ‘Everyone we know, loves The Beano!’

- Fanton.

The Beano issue 3667 is out NOW for two of your British pounds.
