BRITAIN-COMIC-CIRCULATION-DANDY
A person reaches for a copy of the children's comic The Dandy on the shelf of a news agent in central London on August 14, 2012. Publishers DC Thompson, based in Dundee, Scotland, announced that the future of Britain's oldest children's comic and home to cartoon strip characters including Desperate Dan and the cow-pie eating cowboy, is under review after 75 years. By the second half of 2011, circulation had dipped below 8,000, down from a 1950s high of 2 million weekly copies. A spokeswoman for the publishers told AFP that "a review of the title is under way (but) nothing has been decided on yet", indicating the comic was likely to live on as a digital edition even if the print edition closed.
