Re: This is going to far,
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.  Still, I think re-designing Desperate Dan smacks of ... well, desperation I suppose.  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.

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

Re: This is going to far,
A cowboy without a gun...?
This is ridiculous.  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.
