Amazing Jon Burgerman Beano T-Shirts - Cast Your Votes!
Weâre so excited to be able to share these designs with you guys!
For those of you who havenât heard of him (really?) Jon Burgerman is a UK born artist, famed for his instantly recognisable style of doodling.
As a long-time fan of the classic kids comic, he was given the opportunity to get his hands on the stars of the Beano and as big fans of both, we at TruffleShuffle.com were then given the chance to turn his drawings into wearable art - AMAZING!
There were so many cool images to choose from though, we couldnât decide which ones should make the cut which is where you lovely lot (hopefully) come in.
To help us choose and cast your vote, simply head over to the TruffleShuffle Facebook page, find the Be The Buyer - Jon Burgerman x The Beano @ TruffleShuffle.com album and simple let us know in the comments box which YOU would buy. The two designs with the most love will then be available to buy this Easter.
Happy Birthday The Beano!
Well we never! We could barely believe our little eyes when we saw that today marks the amazing 75th anniversary of one of our all time favourite and iconic comic books The Beano!
Yep on this very day back in 1938 when even real life was in black and white (probably), The Beano was first launched on its long and magical journey, keeping kids just like us entertained and wanting more.
This got us wondering though...how much has it changed since these prehistoric early days? Any old and forgotten characters? Let's take a little trip down comic strip memory lane and see for ourselves...
1938: This first edition of the Beano appears (see above), dated 30th July. Stories include Big Eggo (an ostrich), Pansy Potter: The Strongmanâs Daughter and the more enduring Lord Snooty and his Pals which lasts into the 1990s. No real hint of the beloved characters we know now huh.
#DidYouKnow? There are only twelve copies of the first issue known to still be in existence, and only 5 known copies of the second issue! A copy of this first issue sold for £12,100 in 2004.
New Beano T-Shirts!
Back in the 80s, my gran would get me a subscription to my favourite comic or magazine instead of giving me pocket money. I remember twenty years ago, you would get a free Beano t-shirt with every subscription and membership of the Dennis the Menace Fan Club.
So how excited was I when our awesome designer James came up with these ace 80s re-releases - some of your old favourite Beano tees available in adult sizes, for the big kid in all of us!
