Unseen because I've only just drawn it. One or two people who responded to a couple of my previous posts (and elsewhere) said that I should have a go at drawing DESPERATE DAN from the long-running DANDY comic if I wasn't too keen on the current incarnation of DD.
So, first chance I got, I DID. What you're looking at is a hand-coloured, A4 photocopy, the result of some old acrylic inks I've had lying about for 10 years. I didn't take the time to properly erase the pencil lines from the original before I got the page photocopied, so some are still in evidence. When I have more time, I'll "tidy up" the colours a bit.

I've deliberately avoided going for the DUDLEY D. WATKINS look, preferring instead to go for a slightly more "cartoonish" appearance - hence my version of AUNT AGGIE looking nothing like the traditional one. It should go without saying that the "devil effect" in frame 6 is merely symbolic and not to be taken literally.
Done merely for my own amusement, the copyright of DESPERATE DAN remains the property of D.C. THOMSON & Co., Ltd. Dan and all his comic chums can be seen every week in THE DANDY for a mere £1.50 - on sale every Wednesday.
