The Beano is currently edited by Alan Digby, who replaced Euan Kerr in summer 2006. Euan Kerr now edits the BeanoMAX, a version of the Beano for older readers. Its iconic characters such as Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, and The Bash Street Kids have become known to generations of British children. Earlier generations will remember other notable characters which have been phased out, such as Lord Snooty and Biffo. The comics were distributed in some of the British colonies or former colonies as well. Because they were sent by seamail, they would go on sale some weeks after the date shown on the cover. The comic stars as of February 2010: Dennis the Menace and Gnasher by Jimmy Hansen and Nigel Parkinson Calamity James by Tom Paterson (reprints) Billy Whizz by Nick Brennan The Numskulls by Barry Glennard Minnie the Minx by Ken.H.Harrison Freddie Fear Son of a Witch by Dave Eastbury Ball Boy He's Football Crazy by Dave Eastbury Johnny Bean from Happy Bunny Green by Laura Howell Ratz by Laura Howell and Hunt Emerson The Bash Street Kids by David Sutherland Fred's Bed by David Sutherland Beano Manga by Laura Howell Lord Snooty the Third by Nigel Parkinson Les Pretend by John Sherwood (reprints) Super School Training Tomorrow's Heroes by Lew Stringer Ivy the Terrible by Robert Nixon (reprints) Roger the Dodger by Barrie Appleby 60 Second Dennis by Nigel Parkinson

- The Beano is a British children's comic book published by D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd of Dundee, Scotland, which was first issued on 26 July 1938 (dated 30 July). Euan Kerr (editor was editor from 1984 until he handed over to Alan Digby in early 2006. Alan had been Beano Chief Sub Editor when Euan first became editor, and later edited The Beezer. Currently the comic costs 99p. There have been several long-running strips over the years. The longest-running strip in the comic as of 2006 is Dennis and Gnasher (overtaking Lord Snooty), which first appeared (under the name Dennis the Menace) in 1951. Other famous strips include The Bash Street Kids, Minnie the Minx, and Roger the Dodger. Lord Snooty appeared in the very first issue, but disappeared from the comic in 1990. There are frequent fictional crossovers between the strips, with most of the characters living in the fictional town of Beanotown. Also, because many strips in The Dandy are drawn by the same artists, crossovers between the two comics also occur occasionally. As well as this, the comics develop a friendly rivalry. (e.g. "I quit! The Dandy is much safer" "This would never happen in The Beano!") A first issue of The Beano sold for £ 12,100 on 16 March 2004, which was at the time the highest price ever paid for a British comic at an auction. The current highest price is £20,350 which was paid for the first issue of The Dandy on 7 September 2004. The Beano is also the second longest running comic, the first being The Dandy which is also made by D.C. Thomson & Co. Ltd.

Its iconic characters, such as Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, The Bash Street Kids, The Numskulls, Roger the Dodger, Billy Whizz and Ball Boy, have become known to generations of British children. Earlier generations will remember other notable characters who have been phased out, such as Ivy the Terrible, Calamity James, The Three Bears and Pansy Potter. Some old characters, like Biffo the Bear, Lord Snooty, Baby Face Finlayson and Little Plum, have more recently made a return as "funsize" quarter-page strips. The style of Beano humour has shifted noticeably over the years, though the longstanding tradition of anarchic humour has remained. For decades strips have appeared to glorify immoral behaviour, e.g. bullying (Dennis the Menace), dishonesty (Roger the Dodger) and even robbery (Baby Face Finlayson and The Three Bears). Although the readers' sympathies are assumed to be with the miscreants, the latter are very often shown punished for their actions. Recent years have seen a rise in humour involving gross bodily functions, especially flatulence (which would have been taboo in children's comics prior to the 1990s), while depictions of corporal punishment have declined. For example the literal slipper (Dennis the Menace's father's instrument of chastisement) has become the name of the local chief of police (Sergeant Slipper). The comics were also distributed in some of Britain's colonies or former colonies. As they were sent by sea mail, they would go on sale some weeks after the date shown on the cover.
