THEME MONTH: OLD VS NEW! 1993-2004 Dandy format vs 2012 format

(Welcome to theme month, for those looking for Turning point or survivor series results look elsewhere. October is always my cutoff point for wrestling, got to save money for the you-know-what in December.)

We continue my first theme month since joining TGWTG in September. And with Doug Walker retired as a reviewer its only fair that we, the other forum members, pick up the pace. So I'm sure he won't mind me "borrowing" the Old vs New format, this one time!

If you were here last week, I told you that the Dandy comic is closing down and in my retrospective, I said it was due to the format drastically changing. But was it as bad? Is the comic from the year it dies just overlooked? or am i just wearing Nostalgia Goggles when looking at the old style?

I have 2 considerations,

1. Any strips with the same characters will be compared
2. the left-over strips will be treated as one entry and be compared

So Let's Begin
Cover
Again, for those who read bogger box office, You'll know i don't have a scanner or google links, You have to take my word for it, or Google Image search the issue number . For the old style i couldn't find in my search all over Leinster a 90's era dandy so i got the next best thing a 04 comic(issue 3276) before that years reboot. For the new style i picked up the latest issue (at time of writing the manuscript of this review)(issue 3600) in Dublin.
on the old style we have the format that has made the dandy so popular: a 3-panel strip or a"free laugh" this was always the best at it entices the reader to buy it as opposed to a splash page cover of scene that probably is not in comic itself.

The new style cover does not have that problem, as it's cover scene of Nuke Noodle picking up Matt smith and beating up Daleks with him as a weapon(Really!) is repeated inside the comic. the fact that it's drawing readers to a scene repeated is not as surprising as reading a different story about Dan.
Winner: old style.

Desperate Dan
 (Davidson/Harrison version vs Jamie Smart version)
The most famous Dandy character of them all has being there since issue 1, but in 2 years the design has being changed as well as his story dynamic and personality. A desperate Dan story always went like this.

• Dan sees his friends doing an activity (e.g. Skipping)
• Dan breaks the MacGuffin for said activity
• Not wanting to upset his friends, Dan, fixes the broken toy
• Dan uses a bigger stronger thing to use for himself (e.g. Telephone cables as skipping rope!)

In issue 3276, he is at the Highland Games Playing caber toss with cabers his size, he inadvertently sets up telephone poles for the entire Grampian region!
The Jamie Smart version sees him changed, removing his cast and putting him in more western style adventures on the back page. Here in an encounter with Billy the kid (a...well, a kid) Dan comes off as a bully not the gentle giant/Friend to all children as he is remembered.
WINNER:OLD STYLE

Bananaman
(Steve bright version vs Wayne thompson version)
Worldwide Bananaman is well known his 1980s cartoon voiced by the goodies has being picked up by nickelodeon in America, the format hasn't changed as it's still a homage/parody to Silver age comics. In 2004 we had the 103 tv episodes reprinted in the dandy as Bananaman's original creator had passed away. In the new version we has a cartoonly brightly coloured original story albeit short being demoted from 4 pages to just one. But the new style gets the point for originality.
WINNER: NEW STYLE

Keyhole Kate
(Sid burgon reprint vs Paterson/metcalfe reprint)
I admit, i never liked Keyhole Kate stories, who looks through keyholes has anyone ever looked through keyholes is a better question! The character has being uncancelled so many times that she was officially discontinued in 07.
WINNER: NO CONTEST!

Cuddles and Dimples
(Barrie Appleby version vs Nigel Parkinson reprint)
The Anarcistical Babies never failed to get a 9-year old me in stitches, or their long suffering parents and pets for that matter. in the old style Dad is trying to teach the parrot to speak for the pet show. But the babies are causing mayhem causing dad to shout threats, which the parrot relays in front of the judges, kicking Dad out of the pet show.
the Art shift in the new comic saddens me. the anarchy is now a growing pains story about the misunderstandings children have about how the world works. the grotesque features of the babies are stylised and the parents clothes modernised, and the dialogue of the babies is less childish. Her in a reprint before being axed, the boys think mum is laying an egg. Pretty tame if you ask me!
WINNER:OLD STYLE

Winker Watson
Steve white Manga-esque version Vs Steve white original character design
The story of the school-boy who lives in a boarding school surviving teachers,rich kids,bullies,his bumbling uncle as a P.E. Teacher, bank robbers and even aliens hasn't lost his charm. still a 2-pager, the newer stories are now part work, rather than a one-shot every week.
WINNER:NEW STYLE!


OTHER CONTENT WAR!
Old(jimmy's green Genie, Ollie fliptrik, Brain duane, Blinky, Sneaker,Owen goal, Hyde and shriek, Bad max)
vs New (Blubba and bear, Madvertisement, Bully Beef and Chips, Corporal Clott, Spotted Dick, My Dad is a Doofus, Brass Neck, Silly Moo, The Bogies, Puss N' Boots Nuke noodle,Beryl the Peril, George version Dragon and 3 pages of comic shorts)

As strange as it sounds the comic from the year the coffin nails are hammered, has more 90's era characters in it but only because the sad fact that they are reprints. the Modern era stuff are all flash designed with very little movement drawn into them. However the old style wins out with its eclectic mix of styles, humour and themes,While the stuff in 3600 original content looks like it was drawn by the same person, striping these new characters of any unique qualities or personalities.
OVERALL WINNERS: THE OLD DANDY!

THEME MONTH: CHILDHOOD ON PRINT: THE DANDY STORY

By Eamonn Bermingham
Winter
In Ireland, it seems to come earlier than other season and it's presence is felt by everyone.
The sweet scented wind? Replaced by bone-jarring screaming gusts. Brief rainfalls? Consolidated together into Stone splitting showers, And frost that malignant little offspring of water that can turn the smallest of inclines into Everest.
But with the threat of winter comes the promise of Christmas, Lights brightening darker nights, Tv Channels showing toy ads in the evening(Even non-Family friendly channels like Crime Network have toy ads!) and the shops in October has a being Christmas display towering over the little crappy Halloween display only for the shop had to move the Halloween display, on Halloween!,  to add to the mass of this display juggernaut.

The newsagent of a small town is perfect example of the approaching madness, Oranges and their ilk are shifted by box-fulls like mad, comic racks are filled with annuals and honestly, unless your German, who has eaten a croquette before December?

But Next year, the Christmas Tradition of the annual will have 1 casualty. This year on December 4th! the Dandy will close it's doors

But where did it all began?
Well, It all started 74 Christmases ago...
1937
I don't have to tell you why the comic became so popular so quickly, offering an escape back to childhood dreams at a time when Reality created a Monster. However, even the Dandy did their part on paper, Making Desperate Dan into a marine and sharing it's rota with its stable-mate the beano turning both comics from weekly to fortnightly during the war's paper shortage. They also had a strip called Hermy and Addy where Hitler and Himmler were turned into bumbling idiots. This shared rota went away in July 1949 as  the in-universe rivalry was resparked when the comics became weekly again. Usually if a character told an old joke or was unfunny, the phrase "did you read that in the beano" was the response.
these days we have a similar phrase "Did you hear that from Irate Gamer?"

A year after it's debut something was created that would change the comic game forever.
The Dandy monster.
It was the worlds first annual. Made entirely of reprints, today the annual is no longer reserved for comics. As licences such as cartoons, tv shows and wwe all have annuals. Anyone can get an annual it seems, One of the worst I've seen is an annual to glorified Bananarama/Bangles tribute band,Atomic Kitten.

In 1940 the dandy was entirely different to any other comic on the market, even its modern issues can't compare. While i grew up on its eclectic humour back then the stories themselves were varied, you had comedy, satire, sight gags, action,and (yes really, it seems so strange now!) TEXT Stories.

In 1954, The popular Desperate Dan character got his own annual. this lead from the former cover star Korky the Kat sharing the cover with Dan to finally in 1985, Dan became the sole cover star, Cuddles and Dimples became the stars in 2000, but complaints by long-term fans hated the change and by the Christmas double issue, Dan returned to the cover once more.

In 1982 the Fun-size Dandy, a smaller pocket book of one long story was released, Usually a strange cross-over with two characters that usually did not co-exist (Jonah and Puss 'n boots for example) as well as the on-going "Who's the strongest" between Dan and Bananaman, Funsize had Characters that didn't appear in the main comic, Such as Blinkenstein (where blinky is an UNDEAD rip-off of Mr Magoo!) and Barmy Army, As it was recalled when the licence to print a Dad's Army strip fell through. In 1999, Y2K was the storyline excuse why Some characters from fun-size appeared in the main comic. In time the funsize dissolved and the new character were left by the wayside.

In 1985, the ailing Nutty and Hoot! comics was merged bringing now loved Dandy alumni, Beryl the peril, Bananaman, Dimples,Bully beef and chips and Jocks vs Geordies.

Then in 2000, the champagne was uncorked in Dundee, with 3007 issues under its belt, the dandy became the 3rd oldest comic in the world and the second in the English language. For those asking, the order goes:

1. Il Giornalino (1/10/24)
2. Detective comics (March 1937)
3. The Dandy (4/12/37)

Then in 2004 the first coffin nail was hammered,

Feeling that the competition from America was heating up, The dandy went through a dramatic over haul. replacing the newsprint for a glossier paper, the free-laughs on the front and back was replaced by a splash-cover and adverts. and the price jacked from 70p/1 Punt/€1.20 to £1.20/€2 despite the beano, the more popular because of television, retaining its style and beating the others in sales, Then in 2007 yet another rehaul, this time changing the very foundation of the comic.

Issue 3426 saw the Dandy struggling to adapt to times, calling itself Dandy Xtreme, it's adaptions would see the comics downfall. Now priced at a ridiculous €3 And stuffed with a polybag along with cheap-ass poundLand toys (as free sweets with comics became outlawed in Britain's Child health laws, Thank you Jamie Oliver!) the cover stars were now licenced characters from tv games and movies. For the first time since war was declared, the dandy became fortnightly once more and now the Dandy originals under the thrall seemingly of advertising the cover star du jour, had their strips now themed to that character. Not even the Dandy's relaunch in 2010, redesigning the character to their original formats, and the acquisition of comedian Harry hill to has his own comic, strip becoming the new cover star demoting Dan to back page, could save the comic, for the last 2 years the main content has being reprints so now in December with 3609 issues, 75 years, 3 tv shows, 8000+ weekly sales, a Licenced desperate Dan wham bar! a computer game, a collection of stamps and a statue of desperate Dan in it's birthplace of Dundee. The Dandy will be gone.
...BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!

Plans to turn the comic into a web-show is in the works, this years annual has already being released for this christmas is said to be a tongue-in-cheek tribute to 75 years. with sales so great a 2013 annual has already being announced.

So this Christmas, as all Christmasses, are a time of remembrances, so this year, if looking  through your newsagents display, Look out for a comic annual for a child's present, it'll will like introducing it to an old friend!

RVD defeated Magnus in a tv Quality match.

Challange much like Bravo before them have no clue how to show Wrestling the Following match for the Tag team championship was cut to ad breaks, In between the video package, the intros, and the match itself, streching out the match more than it possibly could. I Don't know if i mention this before but because Challange is too lazy to show TNA PPV'S LIVE(Despite being took over by sky who show WWE PPV'S LIVE!) The show is defered with ad breaks streching the ppv to 10pm-2am. by this time the tag is shown at 1am GMT, a point in time where the station bosses must say"screw it the show we are showing must not be important, let's make the AD BREAKS LONGER!, Ruining the pace of tag team championship match! Well i've Ranted enough about Sky's stupidity lets rant about Tna's Stupidity, as Daniels wins the match by blinding styles with his Apple-tini

At this time it's 2:20 after another commercial break. the Final of bfg series was just brawl really as an injured hardy was whaled on until he countered the Bubba Cutta into the Twist of Fate.

Well that's it! scroll down for thoughts and predictions of Night of (most of the) Champions.

Final card to night of (most of the) Champions!*SPOILERS!*

That's right despite having a month long tourney to find a new champion for a new brand, NXT, Because FCW has being rebranded as Nxt, it will continue has Florida championship wrestling did. I.E, as a separate entity to WWE. Meaning the NXT BELT CAN ONLY BE CONTESTED, DEFENDED AND WON ON NXT, OR NXT BRANDED-HOUSE SHOWS!

Now to the actual ppv. All matches are in ascending Title Importance.

YEARLY COMPLETY UNNESSARCARY NON-TITLE MATCH
Dolph Ziggler vs Blandy Bore-ton!
The walking, talking push killer win beat Dolph but it'll be for this:I Strongly believe Ziggler will cash in the MiTB briefcase either this Sunday or after.

DIVA'S TITLE MATCH
Fail-a(C) vs Generic Blonde with Big Tits!

How shit is Eve "Botch"Torres?
 SHE EVEN BOTCHES THROWING PEOPLE OVER TOP ROPES!
THAT'S RIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS, Kaitlyn wasn't even supposed to win the battle royal. And now we have 2 perky Faces who will dance, taunt and be idiots until Torres will interfere causing a DQ.
That is if she Doesn't Botch Her Run-in!
I just hope Beth's sabbatical is a short one!

Tag team championship
THE 2 BLACK GUYS CREATIVE HAS NOTHING FOR(c) VERSUS THE 2 MAIN EVENTERS WHO ARE FEUDING

ANYTHING BUT THAT! Put Bryan in a Match with Charlie Sheen like you wanted! Make See No Evil 2: The Sequel! Just Don't give us this Same Kane/Whatever feud Cop-out you always do for the tag-belts.

U.S CHAMPIONSHIP
Antonio Cesero vs Winner of Pre show Battle Royal

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
GOBSHITE FROM MTV!(C)VS CODY RHODES VS SIN CARA VS REY MYSTERIO
Mangement has teased the Idea of turning 1 of the 2 masked men in this match Hell. Sin cara you're turning hell! Come on! it wont be Mysterio the man has spent 15 years being Face that not even a Hard Turn to ease him into this new role will be enough. Either Way expect Rhodes or THE GOBSHITE! to leave with the strap.

WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP!
LAME-ARSE(C) VS Alberto Del Rio
