Jan 1999 · D.C. Thomson · 7.99 GBP
In this 1999 special celebrating 60 years of The Beano and The Dandy, "What Was the Big News of 1998?" sees Randall and Billy try their hand at fortune telling after spotting a caravan act—only for Cruncher to steal their earnings and laugh all the way to the bank. When he returns to the empty caravan, a sudden scare from a crystal ball and a well-placed rope trap expose his greed, with all the stolen money pouring out of his pockets. Ken H. Harrison’s expressive art brings the mischief to life, capturing the classic slapstick spirit of the duo’s antics.
