I stopped buying the Beano in 2005/2006 but I always found it quite funny when I bought it. Maybe it has changed recently though. I always thought it was strange why the Bash Street Kids never really changed.
The editor left almost exactly a year ago. The new editor made some changes, including removing the fan club page, giving Gnasher his own strip again (it had stopped in 2009) and adding more reprints (Pup Parade, Number 13, The Germs, and Retro Beano, which reprints classic material from the archives). Bash Street won't be modernised as long as the current artist remains, David Sutherland celebrates 50 years of drawing it next year.

I stopped buying it in 2004 as it really started to go downhill and the new look of some of the characters were terrible (especially Ball Boy and Billy Whizz)

The Beano totally rocked! I preferred it to the Dandy, as it had a better class of mischief maker! (Dennis, Minnie, Roger and the Bash Street Kids).

i used to love reading both Dandy and Beano comics have had got loads of them in the loft probably dating as afar back as the 80's! i stopped buying them around 2000 as i had grown out of them.

i think overall i preferred the Beano but both were good.

i have seen recent issues in shops and had a look through once but it just does not look the same now but still if it is selling 40,000 its not doing bad.
