A video by BBC Antiques Roadshow
The game's question
Read the riddle clue by clue; once the name is back, you can stop.
Open ‘The Dandy’, and there he was: a giant of a cowboy who shaved with a blowtorch. He had been in the comic since its very first issue, drawn by Dudley D. Watkins, and children were still reading his adventures every week through the 1950s, the 1960s and the 1970s. Who was this cowboy? Circle his name together.
- Dennis the Menace
- Desperate Dan
- Andy Pandy
Need a hint?
Both words start with a D. Rub your chin as if it needed a shave.

Answer: Desperate Dan – the giant cowboy of ‘The Dandy’, drawn by Dudley D. Watkins.
Why this game : Comic heroes from childhood raise a smile at once – and with them the comics swapped with friends.
