Blinky is a fictional character in a comic strip in the UK comic The Dandy, about a boy with large, thick glasses and the chaos he always causes, as what he sees through his glasses is a galaxy different to the rest of the world. His trusty sidekick, Yellow Dog, always seems to get caught up in Blinky's adventures, and is very keen to get rid of him.
When Blinky first appeared in The Beezer and Topper in 1990, the design of the character seemed to be a younger version of an earlier Beezer comic strip called Colonel Blink. However, when the strip moved to The Dandy in 1993 after The Beezer and Topper folded, and Nick Brennan began drawing the strip, Blinky took on a new look that was now quite unlike Colonel Blink. The design was altered further over the next few years.
