The legendary British children's comic, Beano, has launched a brilliantly funny preview of the year ahead with a special eight-page feature called Beanofy Unwrapped, available from Wednesday 19 November 2024.
What's Inside the Beano Special?
This exclusive pull-out, nestled within this week's edition of the comic, offers a satirical take on the events and personalities expected to dominate headlines in 2025. It transforms anticipated real-world moments into classic Beano-style chaos and laughter for the whole family.
Among the highlights are comic depictions of Alan Carr's Celebrity Traitors triumph and Katy Perry's trip to space. The special also humourously tackles Taylor Swift's engagement to American footballer Travis Kelce.
Epic Storylines and Cameo Appearances
One of the most ambitious storylines involves a group of high-profile figures embarking on a space mission that is destined for failure. The crew includes Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sir Keir Starmer, and JD Vance. Their plans are quickly derailed when the mischievous Bash Street Kids hijack the mission.
Other segments see Dennis the Menace accidentally activating experimental technology, which unleashes holograms of the year's biggest moments. Readers can also look forward to a colossal battle of the bands featuring Oasis, Taylor Swift, and Coldplay, and a scene where actor Jack Black gets pelted with popcorn.
The Mission Behind the Mischief
Mike Stirling, Beano's Director of Mischief, explained the thinking behind the special edition. He stated that Beanofy Unwrapped aims to take 2025's main characters and reimagine them in their funniest possible versions. The goal is to encourage families to come together, share a laugh, and enjoy a burst of creative fun.
The Beanofy Unwrapped pull-out is on sale now, offering a unique and hilarious perspective on the year to come.
