List of Dandy comic strips

From CartoonWiki

Template:Short description


Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Over the years the British comic magazine The Dandy has had many different strips ranging from humour strips to adventure strips to prose stories. However eventually the Dandy changed from having all these different types of strips to having only humour strips. Prose stories were the first to start being phased out in the 1950s. Adventure strips were phased out in the 1980s.
