Beano 4266: The Grumpus Who Stole Christmas!

1. Monster stink!

This week, the Beanotown All-stars present a bumper, heartwarming Christmas story… The Grumpus. On first glance, it looks like a horror-tactic Halloween tale, but we discover who the irritable green monster really is and why the space under everyone’s tree is unusually empty…

2. Chill out, Class 2B!

Teacher’s lesson plan was simple: explain how water can exist in three states and be home in time for tea. So, why then, has a science lesson descended into a snowball fight. Can a learning opportunity be taken from this icy mayhem?

3. A reel treat!

Minnie’s dad has planned a festive treat for Minnie – a trip to the cinema to see her favourite Christmas film. At least it was when she was little and has her heart set on another Christmas film…

4. Stockin around the Christmas tree!

What do you do if you’ve forgotten your Christmas stocking AND have a scientific mind? That’s right, you build a MEGA stocking. Nothing can go wrong, can it?

5. Rebels without a Claus!

There’s some festively spooky goings on in Beanotown. Jem Jones sets out to discover the cause of this paranormal mayhem and comes face to face with some very grumpy, evil elves.

Happy Christmas!

Beano 4265: Jumbo Laughs Guaranteed!

1. Zoo do you think you are?

When a set of car keys go missing, Dennis realises his plans to get a lift to school have been shelved and makes his own way via skateboard. But due to a dodgy wheel, he looks like he’s going to be late to his first class until he gets some help from some animals who’ve escaped from the local zoo. Just a typical morning, then…

2. It’s a wrap!

Harsha’s dad has devised a plan to give their joke shop visitors gold standard customer service – gift-wrapped purchases! It’s just a series of precise paper folds and a few bits of sticky tape… so what could possibly go wrong?

3. A slice of the action!

Minnie’s dad has decided it’s time for a treat at Beanotown’s finest restaurant – Wonky Weasel’s Pizza! With their state of the art technology and futuristic waiting staff, they’re in for an evening they’ll never forget!

4. An ap-peel for help!

After the Widl supermarket runs out of bananas, Beanotown’s caped hero reckons only one person is behind this elongated fruit shortage… General Blight! Bananaman’s plans to interrogate his enemy leads the pair into a furnished cave. Will this reveal who the true culprits are?

5. It’s snot what you think!

The Numskulls find themselves face to face with an intruder – Walter’s Brainy! This visitor fills Edd’s head with snot, but soon realises he’s inside the wrong head!
