In 1977, Gnasher was given his own strip in the Beano, Gnasher's Tale, which like the main Dennis strip was drawn by Sutherland. Similarly, when Dennis's pet pig, Rasher, received his own page in 1984, Sutherland was again the strip's artist, as he was when Gnasher's Tale was replaced by Gnasher and Gnipper in 1986. He sometimes draws himself into strips, such as Biffo in the 2010 annual.

  • In 1977, Gnasher was given his own strip in the Beano, Gnasher's Tale, which like the main Dennis strip was drawn by Sutherland. Similarly, when Dennis's pet pig, Rasher, received his own page in 1984, Sutherland was again the strip's artist, as he was when Gnasher's Tale was replaced by Gnasher and Gnipper in 1986. Sutherland began to draw The Germs for the comic in 1988, although in the early 1990s he was replaced by Vic Neill. He also stopped drawing Gnasher and Gnipper in 1993, with artistic duties being handed to Barry Glennard. In 1998, Sutherland stopped drawing Dennis the Menace after 28 years, handing over to David Parkins, although he has continued to draw the Bash Street Kids since then. Over the next few years, he drew Korky the Cat for the Dandy, as well as the second incarnation of Jak. In 2009 it was confirmed that he was the new artist for the Beano's Fred's Bed. Initially taking over for a three-month period as replacement for Hunt Emerson, he later shared the workload with Tom Paterson before taking as over the strip's main artist during 2011. He sometimes draws himself into strips, such as Biffo in the 2010 annual. To mark Sutherland's 50 years as illustrator of the Bash Street Kids, an exhibition of original artwork from D C Thomson's collections is being held at the University of Dundee in June–August 2012, with the artist appearing for a free Q&A event on 13 June (see ).
