Harry and his Beano

AS WELL as having no less than three pages of work gracing the current issue of The Dandy, I’m also dead pleased to say that  I’ve got a strip appearing in The Beano this week as well! HOORAY!

Yes, this week’s Beano (issue 3588), is carrying a reprint of my first Harry and his Hippo strip, as a sort of advert for the comic’s sister title. I know it’s not PROPER work for The Beano, but it’s still exciting to be able to say I’m in both The Dandy AND The Beano this week – especially as I find myself in an issue carrying work by my comic hero Tom Paterson, the very awesome Laura Howell and comics LEGEND Leo Baxendale! What a thrill for a comics nerd like myself!

Hippo being sick with excitement at the thought of being in this week's Beano.

Both titles filled my young head with ideas and the desire to draw when I was a kid, so it’s really doubly exciting to be appearing in both comics! May I squee a bit? Too late: SQUEEEEEEEE!

Why not pick up both comics this week, for twice the Hippo-based hilarity?

So, what do you think?
