The Beano Experience - Sunday 25th September 2016

The Beano Experience - A day to remember

On Sunday the 25th of September 2016 I went down to Central London to go to The Beano Experience and it was more than I expected. The event was a huge party, I got gunged, used a giant catapult, bought a Beano notebook, got this weeks Beano and this years annual free (oh, and a squishy tomato, light up balloon and SO/NO Beano foam glove), to top it off though... I met some guys from The Beano. I met Nigel Auchterlounie who draws The Numskulls. I got a nice drawing of myself as a Numskull from him:


I also met Kev F Sutherland, I got a portrait of myself from him:

But to top it off... I met Michael Stirling. When I went to meet him, I asked him if I could have his autograph. He said yes and asked me my name, so I said "Andrew". He instantly recognised me and said "Andrew Worrall?", he knew who I was and I didn't even have to mention my surname. That was brilliant and I never thought I'd see the day where I meet Michael Stirling in person. I got a bit more than just an autograph as you can see - and I'm now officially The Beano's No.1 fan, as pictured below!



Here's me after I got gunged:


Using the giant catapult:


Tons of fun to be had - it was a great party as you can see!:


I will now finish off with a video I took at the event:

Thank you for reading my post. If you are reading this Beano Team, thank you so much for the experience. It was a great party, one of the best I have ever been to, and a real pleasure to meet Michael Stirling, Nigel Auchterlounie and Kev F Sutherland.

Goons of The Galaxy - Review

This post contains my review of Goons of The Galaxy by Marc Jackson.

Before I begin, I would like to point out I was provided a free copy of the comic for review purposes. I have not been paid in any format to write this review, nor would I accept payment to write a review anyway.

All imagery of the comic and wording from the comic in this review are copyright to Marc Jackson and Weirdo Comics. I am in no way affiliated with the creator, publishers or anyone involved in the creation of the publication.

Goons of The Galaxy is an interesting comic, one I would say is worth reading. I do not want to spoil the story too much, though, so I'll focus more on the artwork in my review. As we can see the front cover is above, with great detail. I can tell what the theme of the comic is going to be about from the title as well as the art.

I can tell that a lot of work has been put into this comic, and it is definitely worth a read.

Very creative ideas have been used... the "blue milk" made me laugh.

Apologies for this review being short, since I'm stuck for time I had to keep it brief, but this comic is exceptionally good - I recommend it.

Thank you for reading my review.
