Not sure there's much PC about an Afro-Caribbean amateur detective character called Dreadlock Holmes - he could have come straight off the pages of Viz by the sounds of him. :erm: Still, I think re-designing Desperate Dan smacks of ... well, desperation I suppose. :D I don't know what they think they're going to achieve by taking his gun off him, I mean he's a cowboy, cowboys have guns and no seven year old is going to think differently just because Dan doesn't have one any more.

... and they didn't say he wouldn't be eating Cow Pie, just not whole animals ;) :D

Re: This is going to far,
 

If they are updating for a modern image, why is Desperate Dan's waistline getting smaller when the population's waistlines are getting bigger :confused:

Re: This is going to far,
 

Yea, and why isnt he taking steriods to make himself bigger......i mean you NEVER see him down the gym :erm: ;)

A cowboy without a gun...?

This is ridiculous. :rolleyes: I don't buy it that it is "changing to meet the demands of a new audience". I mean what kid on the street says: "I think Dennis The Menace should be socially responsible"?, or "I don't think Desperate Dan Cowboy shouldn't have a gun"? If you asked a kid nowadays, he/she'll probably say "Why hasn't he set a cat on fire yet?", or "Why hasn't he/she nicked from his/her gran to buy some cider?". Pure PC BS. Only they can't even admit to it, that's how bad the view the PC attitude.
