The Beano Annual 2006

Product Information

Dennis and Gnasher are giving each other a "high-five", pictures of the other characters are displayed in some of the grid squares in the background. Dennis rides his bike over a river into his Dad's prize apple tree, and all the other characters cheer him on.

Back: We learn that the "jungle" is Dennis's back garden, where Dennis' dad is using Rasher as a lawnmower.

The Bash Street Kids are sitting on a giant swing which is tied to the comic's name (Danny is reading the book). Front: Dennis, Gnasher, and all the other characters (some retired) are flying through space, using special vehicles.

Back: Dennis's Dad tilts the trampoline and it bounces Dennis and Gnasher into the pond after they come down, covering them with water as the Bash Street Kids laugh at them. Since the Beano's redesigned logo debuted on the 2017 annual (released 2016), the words "BEANO" and "ANNUAL (year)" have been displayed in a consistent size and font on the cover and spine each year; this had not previously been the case. Front: The Bash Street Kids are riding on Little Plum's horse, Treaclefoot, and wearing cowboy hats. Biffo is nailing pictures of many other then-current Beano characters (including Pansy Potter, Maxy's Taxi, Tom Thumb, The Laughing Pirate, Tick-Tock Tony and Lord Snooty) to the cover. This book also marked the 60th birthday of Dennis the Menace with a special logo that was displayed in the bottom-right corner of its front cover.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. Freddie's mum finishes reading a scary story to Freddie, who is so scared that his hair is white and standing on end. Front: Dennis is on a skateboard in space powered by new look Beano comics, while Gnasher is in a spacesuit.

Front: Biffo is holding up a barbell (which represents the two letters "OO" in "BOOK") and Buster is tickling him with a feather, while Dennis, the Three Bears, Jonah, Minnie, Roger and the Bash Street Kids are watching them. Dennis and Gnasher witness the unveiling of a new statue of Walter by the Prince of Softies himself.Front: All the characters are playing on a giant 3D mechanical Gnasher (a 2D one had previously been built by a school of aliens, in the 1997 annual). Front: Dennis, Minnie, and Gnasher are practicing karate; Gnasher is wearing a karategi with a red belt. Biffo is dressed as a lollipop man and holding a sign (which has the name of the book on it), while Dennis, Minnie, Roger, the Bash Street Kids, Three Bears, Billy Whizz, Lord Snooty, Bash Street Pups, The Nibblers (chased by Winston) and Little Plum all rush past him. Back: Dennis, Gnasher, Minnie, and the other characters are throwing tomatoes at the float driven by Walter's dad (which also has a giant model of Walter on the back with flowers in his hands), and Walter's mum and the Softies are scared.
