You were lucky. We had to pay the owner of the field for permission to pick his veggies and when we got home our dad would thrash us to sleep with soiled potato sacks. :D

You were lucky. At least you had a home. We used to sleep in a shoebox in the middle of the M1.
This is a dispicable attack on a national treasure by a poster obsessed with rear wheel drive and banning stuff.
Don't forget the obsession with the mythically huge "pension pot" owned by everyone over the age of 60. Me? I won't have a pot to p*ss in when I retire
Back on topic, what about General Jumbo and his wrist radio? That could be classed as prejudice against men who masturbate, as in "a quick one off the wrist"??!!
Cardboard box?? Luxury! We are on the same wavelength my man

It all went downhill after Topless Skateboard Nun and Jump Jet Fanny and her Hawker Sidley T**t, but they weren't in the Beano.

I beg to differ.....the Beano Summer Special of 1968 featured stories in which Jump Jet Fanny caused Jumbo to permanently damage his right wrist and Topless Skateboard Nun knocked Dennis the Menace off his bike. When he told his parents how it happened they thought he was hallucinating

Aww, that link is "blocked by my organisation" so I'll have to wait till I get home. But what are you saying - that Lord Snooty ISN'T the PM? I'm off to lie down in a darkened room for the rest of the day

To even suggest that there is a similarity between Lord Snooty and our beloved PM is tantamount to sacrilege. If I suggested such a thing I'd be accused of class warfare and drummed out of these forums (of course, if I'd been to public school I'd say fora instead). The PM went to the most egalitarian school in the land where ability and intelligence is no barrier to attendance, and then gained entrance to a middle of the road college purely on ability and qualifications, no strings pulled at all.

I'm gay and have never thought that. He's just a wimpy posh boy. It's a shame if they've changed him and Dennis's dynamic too much.
Yeah, I thought Dennis' dislike for Walter was 'cos he was weedy and posh, not
because he might be gay.
A lot of DC Thompson comics used to play
off this "working class hero vs. posh anatagonist" -lots of the Victor's sports
strips ( like Alf Tupper) did this.

I'll trade you David "Lord Snooty" Cameron for Ed "Mr Logic - he's a pain in the arse" Miliband.
For too long us "softies" have been laughed at and caricatured. Well now it's time to ban such stories in Beano and protest against similar depictions by parading about the publisher's officers in our aprons and Marigold gloves!
It always strikes me that Walter the Softy appears gay (clothing style) but he is the butt of all jokes, and violent attacks. We are meant to think it is amusing...
Should such stories and sterotypes be allowed?
Will people ever understand that effeminate and gay are not the same thing?

No doubt whatsoever about that.

OOps..forgot Men Only!!!
Yeah, those Four Mary's were the leaders of a subversive militant offshoot of the original Suffragettes.

That's rather Desperate Dan of you.
Dunno about Milhouse, but Stewie is most definitely Bi.
Is Eton still a charitable institution?

Half term in England used to be one day off (a Monday).
I'm not sure what this has to do with the Beano or homosexuality though.

There is such a thing as "Camp Straight" man (look at Prince or Russell Brand).
I would hazard a guess that there are as many effeminate straight men as there are effeminate gay men.
