The latest issue of BEANO (No. 4258) is on sale in good newsagents now, loaded as usual with laughs, jumping with jokes and packed with pranks, aiming to dispatch any hint of boredom!
This week, “Angel Face Investigates” as the Bash Street Kids fall victim to boredom, courtesy of writer Nigel Auchterlounie and award-winning artist George Gant (who also provides this issue’s cover); a distant relative is visiting Dennis and family, and, horror of horrors, everyone has to get cleaned up to meet her… even Gnasher! (Nigel Auctherlounie and Nigel Parkinson deliver this disturbing talk of baths, hair brushing and pet grooming!)
Plus: Andy Fanton and Simon Gallant pit “The Bash Street Kids” against one of their worse nightmares – rain at break time; and in “Minnie the Minx” Andy and Laura Howell are clearly poking fun at a certain social media gazillionaire, as he unveils a new car…
There’s much more to enjoy in the world’s most famous weekly comic strip magazine including Banaman, Roger the Dodger, Numskulls and more – alongside a great competition, a joke page, puzzles and more.
In addition to his work for BEANO, cover artist George Gant (aka “Geo Gant”) is a Chicago-based cartoonist, illustrator, letterer, author, who is also creator of his own characters, “Beware of Toddler” (available to read on Comics Kingdom), recounting George’s own experiences as a stay-at-home father; “On the Grind” and “The Reset Button“.
