Related comic strip
A comic strip in The Dandy in 2003 and 2004 was called "Dandy Days in Beanotown" which had the Dandy characters, including Brain Duane, Korky the Cat and Desperate Dan competing against their rivals from The Beano in their own town, after Dan had become ambassador there. Drawn throughout by Steve Bright, the strip was dropped with the October 2004 revamp of The Dandy.
