About this deal
Front: Dennis is jumping onto a seesaw which causes Gnasher to fly over a fence into the Beanotown Cats' Home.
Back: Dennis and Gnasher's winning raft is revealed to have been pushed by a dolphin in a Menace jumper (who, after he became a regular feature, was named "Splasher").All the then-current characters are emerging from gigantic eggs with Big Eggo's head peering onto the right side.
This was the last annual to feature Biffo the Bear on the cover, he was replaced by Dennis on the cover starting from 1975. Dennis rides his bike over a river into his Dad's prize apple tree, and all the other characters cheer him on. No-one who reads a Beano Annual is ever left in any doubt where to catch up with their friends from the Beano Annual!Front: Little Plum and Minnie the Minx (the latter is wearing a red-and- yellow striped jumper) are blowing up a giant balloon which is shaped like Biffo's head. There are 68 annual covers here, stretching from the first ever Beano annual in 1940 to the previous year's. Front: The first completely hand-drawn front cover picture since 1999, with a giant Loch Ness monster (whose face is very similar to Plug's) interfering with all the characters' relaxing swim up at "Loch Mess" (it is obviously a parody of Loch Ness).
