The Beano of Sept. 16th, 1961 was special because it was the paper's 1,000th edition. What I find surprising is that the episode of Bash Street Kids is a doctored b/w reprint from The Beano No. 778. It was the only reprint during the Leo Baxendale period of the strip.
Mid-50s was a busy period for Leo Baxendale as it were, but Beano editor occasionally gave him even more work, asking him to stand-in for other artists. Dennis the Menace episode, however, is the only one by Leo I’ve seen (or at least I think I can recognize his style there)...
One of the many things I like about Davey Law’s strips in The Beano and the Topper comics is the way he drew animals. Here are a few panels from Beryl the Peril from the Topper No. 172 (May 19th, 1956):

Lovely episode of Pansy Potter from the 1952 Easter issue of The Beano, with a couple of closeups 😀😀
Not sure how funny this episode of the Bash Street Kids is in today’s context, but it surely comes across as somewhat sickening to me... From The Beano No. 766 (23 March, 1957)
Here‘s part one of my overview of WHOOPEE! posters and pull-outs offered in 1979. There were far too many to be covered in one go, part two will follow soon 😀https://t.co/KIwIov9Pbv

Ken Reid’s Roger the Dodger and Leo Baxendale’s Little Plum in The Beano No. 603 at about this time of the year in 1954 – a week before Leo’s When The Bell Rings (aka The Bash Street Kids) joined the fun and made the comic even more hilarious!
