Bad Grandad!
THIS WEEK’S issue of The Dandy (out NOW!) carries with it some terrible news, as it includes the last George vs Dragon of the current run. Awwwwww!
But wait! Before you storm Dandy HQ in protest, put down those pitchforks! Forget the flaming torches! Because there’s also news of my BRAND NEW full-page strip, which begins VERY SOON! Hooray!
It’s called ‘Bad Grandad’ and features the misadventures of the titular geriatric japester, as he makes life difficult for his poor, long-suffering grandson, Timmy. This is the first time I’ve had an ongoing strip that I haven’t written, as this series was penned by a wondrous wordsmith within Dandy Towers! I’m enjoying working on it, and I find having to draw stuff I might otherwise not have done is helping me to push myself a bit further, the results of which you should see as the run progresses. (Hopefully!)
Anyway, enough of my blitherings. Enjoy the last George vs Dragon this week, then brace yourselves for the 22nd of February to welcome Bad Grandad to the fold. Or he’ll thwack you across the bonce with his cane. TWICE.
Tara!

Oh, looks good!
Hmm, this week’s Dandy says the next issue is out on the 22nd – which would mean it’s now fortnightly?
Looking forward to seeing Bad Grandad though.
I think there’s no issue next week.
He reminds me of the guy from the movie UP.
Same.

[...] was thrilled when Dandy HQ approached me to ask if I’d be interested in doing a cover, using Bad Grandad as its focus. I thought about it for approximately half a second, before declaring [...]
I loved bad grandad SO much and took out a subscription with the Dandy so I could see him every single week. Alas, Bad Grandad has now disappeared and I am left bereft. Is there anywhere I could find him in future?
