A comic's Target Market
31 Answers
Happened to be discussing kids' comics with Mrs Spod today and I asked if she remembered Beano. 'Never read it, it was a boys' comic'. I could not have been more surprised. There were, of course, gender specific comics (Eagle, Shoot, Twinkle, Bunty), but Beano? Really?
What's your view?
Also, should this have been under Arts and Literature?

Surely Beryl the Peryl was in the Dandy ? Started in the Topper ?
Minnie the Minx was a Beano character, IIRC.
I'm sure there were other female characters too, but one sort of expects most to be male as traditionally it is more socially acceptable to show males playing up, or being made fun of, than females.
