Gosh How The Beano Has Changed!

[Ann]

How "The Bash Street Kids" have chnged over the years! See the cartoons in the Beano today compared to yesteryear.

Political correctness /health and safety has crept in! The teacher as we remember him from our childhood comic was a bit like Hitler but now there is a lady teacher and a coloured teacher - the children are different looking and Gnasher the dog who was so fierce looking back in the 50s/60s is now a dog who does "gentle gnashing" of teeth.

Bring back the old style we say! LOL

.... and where is Smiffy and Wilfred with his head half hidden down in his jumper?!

we had lady teachers and coloured teachers at our real-life school, so maybe the Beano is catching up with the world?

There's an exhibition on in London
