Marking the launch of some new official BEANO merchandise, Tewkesbury-based t-shirt makers Weird Fish are running an exclusive competition to win exclusive art by Dennis the Menace artist Nigel Parkinson.
Celebrating Dennis the Menace’s 75th Anniversary, Weird Fish have joined the shoals for the ongoing fin-tastic celebration, and produced five BEANO striking t-shirts, trawling the pages of the weekly comic and reeling in its biggest stars, giving Dennis, Gnasher, Minnie the Minx and Bananaman a brilliantly fishy makeover.
Packed with mischief, mayhem and enough puns to make you groan from gill to gill, this collection is perfect for lifelong fans, and anyone who likes to make a bit of a splash.
Weird Fish have given plenty of cult stars a fishy makeover over the past 30 years, including Dad’s Army, House of the Dragons (transformed into House of the Dragonfish) Indiana Jones (Findiana Jones), James Bond (James Pond), Star Wars, and more, and these BEANO t-shirts are some of their latest fun products.
Alongside these brilliantly Beano-fied fishy T-Shirt collection, Weird Fish are currently giving fans the chance to get your flippers on an exclusive piece of artwork, created and signed by top BEANO artist Nigel Parksinson. Plus, 75 runners up will be able to net a 2026 Beano annual, full of all the BEANO stars in their human forms. But be quick if you want to enter! The competition closes at midnight 18th October 2026.
