I don't want to be all dropping names, but I know Davy Donaldson, accordian player with Scottish Folk giants Scurly, and one of the nebulous and mysterious council of drunk Scottish men who run DC Thomson in Dundee...and, more importantly, the creator of Bananaman. Yeah I said it, Bananaman. I can reveal this much: he hates Bill Oddie, and his son invented the rarely-sighted, somewhat deriative arch enemy Appleman at the tender age of 10.

Pets that could think in English, albeit with heavy animal accents cf. Gnasher's 'gnash, gno way'.

I remember being shocked when I saw Gnasher refer to himself as 'gnackered' because I thought it was Swearing.

It's kind of surprising to realise that Lord Snooty and Little Plum were in the Beano up until the late 80s. One for obvious reasons, the other because it was a weird character for that era.

― Mippy, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

All meat pies are that odd circular shape with raised sides...
...except for any pie eaten by Desperate Dan, which will have horns coming out of the top.
