Nice to see Danny from the Bash Street Kids making a guest appearance on the ’87 cover. I still have the annual from that year, which features a corporal punishment-themed back cover with Dennis’s dad at the ‘slipper stall’.

DC Thomson liked their sing-a-longs on their Christmas issues, something occasionally used at other times of the year.
Calamity James Spin-off Little Larry had a couple of them.
