I'M BACK!!!

Yeah, I know it's been flippin' ages, but you know what, I'm here now and that's all that matters. Right?

I'm in this week's Beano, which is brilliant and I'm brilliant. And maybe you're brilliant too (well, most of you anyway). This week's episode involves an old boot, a genie, sausages and mash, Britney Spears... EVERYTHING!!!!

Here's a great moment to treasure forever...



Do you miss me? Then check me out on twitter!!!

It's a right laugh and apparently the only reason to read twitter, so I've heard!!

LATERS!!!!!!

Wayne The Whale!!

Well here he is!! Jack Rowland's brilliant character Wayne the Whale! Sorry I didn't put it up earlier; I moved barns since the competition and the drawing wasn't where I thought it was :(

Congrats again to Jack!!

Cor blimey! Look who's in the Beano!!

Yup! It's me!! Me and the lads are on the beach looking to get lovely tans, when a big flippin' whale turns up and spoils the party!

Mega thanks to Jack Rowlands who invented Wayne The Whale last year in a competition set by Mr. Northfield on one of his library trips to Newport Central Library (big thanks to Tracey Paddon who ran the event)!! Tomorrow I'll post his winning pic.

Don't forget to vote if you like the story! Thanks!

Big Twit

Hello!

Yeah, I know I'm never here no more and my Beano appearances have slowed down a bit, but life has been beyond hectic (moving barn, fighting chickens, catching cowpox etc, etc). But if you want to catch up with my latest bleatings I'm now over at Twitter!!

I'll be updating this old blog when any big news happens, so never fear, I'll always be around!

Thank you for all your patience and look out for a new Derek story in the Beano very soon!

Byee

Derek Christmas Extravaganza!!!

Yep, my book is out! Hooray! I could've mentioned it here earlier, but I forgot my password to get in :(. Cecil fortunately was at hand and he has a memory of an elephant, which is quite big apparently. Bees are quite small, so that memory is like one of those mega-computers that you see in mad films that take over the world. By the way, I've got the lurgey, so apologies if I don't make any sense whatsoever. Like usual.

The book is out from Bloomsbury and you can buy it from the usual places like amazon etc., so there's no excuse not to pick it up. I've not actually seen it in any shops (and boy I've looked in enough!), but I've been assured by Lenny that he saw one copy in a big Waterstones, although one branch actually refuses to sell it, which is a shame. Don't they know who I am? I'm in the BEANO!!!!! They'd be millionaires if they sold it!

Bah. Whatever.

You're probably better off buying it online is all I'm saying.

Anyways... My latest adventure is in the Beanomax!!

Here's an exciting clip:



Merry Christmas one and all!!!!

Quick!!! Buy the Beano!!!

I'm in it!! I've not been able to find a copy myself, so good luck. Apologies for not telling you sooner :(

Here's a panel to make up for it ....



Hooray!! It's a very silly story (as one would expect).

I'll put up a big post regarding my great new book from Bloomsbury tomorrow too! I hope you're all rushing out and buying it (if not, why not?)

Cheers!!!!
