Cummings immortalised in The Beano

Sir Thomas Moore, Marcus Rashford and Dominic Cummings have been immortalised in the  first ever Beano comic written specifically for grown-ups. 

Published inside the regular comic, on sale today, the pull-out has Dennis The Menace’s mum and dad looking back on the events of 2020, recounting Zoom quizzes, home schooling, delayed Bond films and toilet roll shortages.  

The comic also features Greta Thunberg, who offers Dennis’ dad advice on how to grow his own Christmas tree, while Desperate Dan makes his first appearance in a comic for eight  years  

Mike Stirling, editorial director of Beano Studios, said: ‘ We love bringing kids laughs every week but 2020 has been so tough, that for the first time in 82 years we’ve created a comic that kids can give to adults to share some much needed Beano lolz.'
