Here are various prints on the drying rack before I send them to Somerset House for sale at the exhibition there celebrating the Beano. https://downthetubes.net/?p=131485&fbclid=IwAR1bDUiEe3E2L__tTcluTpbB2uhH7he-JKw6ufdOqaY0JNh30rLksM29KRU https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/beano-art-of-breaking-the-rules?gclid=CjwKCAiAnO2MBhApEiwA8q0HYeBXHRh5SkjxkQ0K8r4rTSbDGxgVn0eMtbkqFOfTNUaCQzw1dAtfKRoCnzMQAvD_BwE

Here's a large format print of the Bash Street Kids just after the black ink was applied. You can see the stencil on the screen behind the print. I've already flooded it with black ink in preparation for pulling the next print. 

I've found another panel showing Dennis the Menace hugging his always faithful hound Gnasher ... and you can see here in the before-and-after how it appears in The Beano in the 1980s. I've not used the speech bubble, instead focussing on the central figures: a boy and his dog. 

WOW! IN ONE FRAME A customer has just sent me this photo of his three large screenprints spelling WOW in Beano lettering and here they are. I'm very impressed by the impact they make in a single frame. Please send me your photos of my screenprints if you have any you'd like to share. Best, John

Cats and dogs by Thelwell, George Herriman's surreal Krazy Kat, Dennis the Menace's Gnasher, and Uderzo's Dogmatix - or Idefix to the French. They're all here. Screenprinted with affection by John Patrick Reynolds, with thanks to DC Thomson, Editions Albert Renee and David Thelwell
