Harry's Hippo has officially won the poll over on the Dandy website. They actually claimed he'd won it before the poll had closed, but oh well. Origianlly drawn by Ken Harrison in the 80's, Andy Fanton brought the cabbage loving lunk back as part of the comics poll! The results were:
Phil's Finger: 110 (110 more than I though it was going to get.)
Daredevil Dad: 809
Tag Tastic Team: 2396
Harry's Hippo: 2841!
Well done Andy, keep up the good work!
UPDATE - 26/04/2011: Strangely enough, you can still vote!
Hooray! It's Dandy day! And issue #3526 (which DOESN'T have a flap) is out! Are those sheep in the background of the front cover drawn by Jamie Smart? They don't look like Nigel Parkinson's art but I could be wrong! It's week three in the strictly come laughing*, and the stories are (according to thingummyblob) feeling the pressure. To be honest, I'm a fan of Fanton's new take on Harry and his Hippo (originally drawn by Ken H. Harrison) and Daredevil Dad. Harry and his Hippo this week includes another classic character - Bully Beef and Chips! I'm not a huge fan of Phil's Finger or Tag Tastic Team. What about you? Go to

Andy Fanton has sneaked in another little thing into Boo this week (in my last but one blog, I mentioned that he sneaked in carrotty kid). This time it's the advertisment for George vs
