“Les Pretend”

In "Les Pretend," the kids of The Beano turn the school into a launchpad, rigging a space rocket from a teacher’s chair and assorted classroom odds and ends. With a mischievous glint, Teacher offers to stand back—only to be met with suspicion, as the children insist they’re waiting for nightfall and the stars to appear before liftoff. Art by Nigel Parkinson, with cover by David Parkins, this 1999 issue captures the boundless imagination of childhood play with playful precision.
