I was surprised to hear my name on the Radio 4 Obituary show this afternoon. It turned out that it was Ian Robertson Gray, who worked for DC Thompson on the Beano and invented Dennis the Menace’s dog Gnasher.
P.S. You can buy the figurine (and many others) here.

Oh, I’m so glad it wasn’t about you, Shades! I used to love the Beano!

Yes the Beano was great. I always thought that Gnasher was a tad scary for a comic dog.

I thought Rasher was much more sinister.
Gnipper wasn’t very fierce at all.
