Dennis and Gnasher, Minnie the Minx, Bananaman, and the rest of the Beano gang are to take over Somerset House this autumn in a contemporary celebration of the world’s longest-running comic
This autumn, Somerset House presents Beano: The Art of Breaking the Rules, a major exhibition celebrating the weekly comic and a British cultural icon: Beano.
First released in 1938 and still crafted weekly from its home in Dundee, Beano has entertained and inspired across the decades, forming a lasting impact on the contemporary cultural landscape and, crucially, on today’s artists themselves.
And what’s the secret, you may ask? It’s simple, suggests Beano, by always applying the one rule: that rules should be broken.
