The Bea-NO.

I'm a big fan of retrospectively ruining the innocence of childhood. Who says there are no sexual connotations in Peppa Pig? I've watched several episodes and trust me, it's absolutely rampant (or hampant, if you will). The Beano is miraculously still going, but the characters are all somehow still the exact same age. Given that the comic first appeared in 1938, Dennis The Menace would be well into his 80s by now and let's not fool ourselves, his dog and parents would be extremely dead. With that in mind, I've decided to rewrite some of the comic strips, but with a deeply inappropriate and disrespectful twist. I'm sorry, I'm genuinely really sorry about this one.
