I've looked before at Tesco fun 'n games comic (here and here) so for the sake of completeness here are some more images - this time from issue 8...

Dennis & Gnasher's Big Bonanza opens tomorrow
Opening tomorrow at Kew Gardens is "Dennis & Gnasher's big Bonanza"
As they say on their website...
Join Beano for fun this Easter holiday at Kew Gardens with lots of plants and pranks.
We'll be celebrating Dennis' birthday with Dennis, Gnasher and all their Beanotown friends with a brand-new comic strip created especially for Kew and an interactive story trail around the Gardens.
Along the way, there will be jokes and activities to learn about some of the plant kingdom's cleverest tricks.
Pranks and plants
Perfect for kids and big kids alike, you'll meet characters from the popular Beano comic and much-loved TV series Dennis & Gnasher: Unleashed!
Join the 'banana bunch' on a mission to protect bananas from evil Dr Gloom, save them from extinction and rescue the fruit-powered superhero Bananaman from capture.
Discover the slimy, sticky, smelly and deceptive powers of plants to help save the day.
Will the 'banana bunch' succeed in their mission and finally get to enjoy a slice of Dennis' favourite banana cake for his big birthday bonanza? Join us at Kew this Easter to find out.
You can book your tickets for Kew Gardens here and the shop is here with plenty of Beano merchandise to choose from - including some specific to Kew
