P5 (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

P5 was a comic strip in the UK comic The Dandy. It was drawn by Dennis the Menace artist Jimmy Hansen.

[edit] Characters

  • Den, the class leader
  • Dotty, Den's annoying little sister
  • Jackie, self-centred blonde
  • Kim
  • Liam & Noel, violent twin brothers
  • PC, the inventor
  • Miss Truncheon, their long-suffering teacher

In issue 3000 (recently reprinted), The kids had grown up to become adults with a school reunion theme with Miss Truncheon now working in a job centre until the last picture of the story when she resigned saying she wanted to stay away from 'that lot' crashing through a wall while running away.

[edit] 2006

P5 returned as a reprint in the issue dated 4.11.2006 under the name Class Act. The reprints are mainly 1998/1999 for DC Thomson's policy of comic strips being at least 7 years old before they are reprinted. These ended when The Dandy relaunched in August 2007.
