[edit] Smudge
Disambiguation required. the 'Smudge' link goes to a band called Smudge. The Beano character needs a stub page. Sorry, but I don't know how to sort out disambiguation so any help would be appreciated.
- Oops. When I added the link last year, no page called 'Smudge' existed. I've now changed the link to Smudge (comics). BillyH 03:19, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Editor
The present editor is Euan Kerr, who has been in this role since 1984.
Is this true? Can anyone else detect something amiss in this name?!?

[edit] Strip list
I believe that the list of current and past strips needs some modification (with consensus and research). For example, Billy the Cat and Katie should probably not be listed as a past strip, rather as an occasional current strip (it runs in series?) Whilst as of 2006 Les Pretend only seems to appear in annuals. Gordon Bennett has also been absent for a while (but not really long enough to be a past strip IMO) --RK 16:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
How about Ill Will? I'm not too sure as I haven't seen a Beano in years.--213.7.2.8 14:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Editor of the Spectator
Matthew d'Ancona has been appointed to replace Boris Johnson as editor of The Spectator magazine.
This was reported by the BBC News Website on 13 February 2006 - although Boris Johnson resigend as editor in December 2005 when he was appointed to David Cameron's shadow front bench as Higher Education Minister.
[edit] Bash Street Kids came before Dennis the Menace
It first appeared under the name "When the bell rings" and later became "The Bash Street Kids". It underwent this name change before Dennis the Menace first appeared, so I think the change is justified.
- Well, yeah...but name changes don't really count. Dennis, despite minus Gnasher, still first appeared three years before The Bash Street Kids, so it's still technically the longest running strip. The addition of 'and Gnasher' to the title was simply a renaming based on his new sidekick, not a completely different strip entirely. BillyH 07:34, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
