Beano Annual 2022

Product Information

Biffo is completing a jigsaw puzzle of the Bash Street Kids, which shows an angry dog chasing after the Teacher. The Bash Street Kids ride on the Iron Fish as it flies over their Teacher (who'd hooked it) in his fishing boat. Biffo is holding a picture frame up in front of himself, as if he was a portrait (four actual portraits of Dennis, Minnie, and Bash St.'s Smiffy and Plug are also present on the left and right sides of him, as he is standing in a Beano art gallery). Front: Dennis and Gnasher are chasing a pair of cats through the snow (and past a Dennis-like snowman).

Biffo the Bear watches Dennis, as he plays a game of leapfrog with Little Plum, and a goat is about to butt him. Front: All the characters are at the Beano's 75th birthday street party (this was a reference to all the street parties that were held over the country in 2012 to celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee). Since the Beano's redesigned logo debuted on the 2017 annual (released 2016), the words "BEANO" and "ANNUAL (year)" have been displayed in a consistent size and font on the cover and spine each year; this had not previously been the case. Front: Dennis and Minnie are having a paintball fight in the snow (there is also a "Dandy/Beano 50 Years Young" logo, seen in the bottom-right corner of this annual's cover).Biffo is holding a glove puppet of Dennis with a club that has hit him over the head (its box says "GLOVE PUPPET, HARMLESS TOY" but it is clearly not). Big Eggo and Koko the Pup are having a three-legged race with all the other characters running behind them. Front: Dennis, Minnie, and Gnasher are practicing karate; Gnasher is wearing a karategi with a red belt. Big Eggo and all the other (then-current) characters are sitting on a seesaw, which is supported by Pansy Potter. All the then-current characters are emerging from gigantic eggs with Big Eggo's head peering onto the right side.

Big Eggo and all the other (then-current) characters are playing leapfrog as they approach a pool full of water. All the then-current characters are dancing around the spinning Big Eggo – with Lord Snooty playing the bagpipes.Front: All the characters are playing on a giant 3D mechanical Gnasher (a 2D one had previously been built by a school of aliens, in the 1997 annual). After paper rationing had ended, The Magic Comic was never revived, but some of the characters who had originally appeared in the pre-war Magic Comic remained as regular strips in the post-1950 Beano Comic (such as Koko the Pup). The latest version came out 2021 and was dated 2022. The book consistently retails at 6.98 from 2022 (released 2021)
