Beryl the Peril 1967

Product Information

The Topper was a UK comic published by D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd that ran from 7 February 1953 to 15 September 1990, when it merged with The Beezer. The Beezer and Topper was cancelled in August 1993, and Beryl joined The Dandy comic. Notably, she was the only Beezer and Topper character to transfer to The Dandy as soon as the former comic folded. (The following refugee, Potsworth & Co., did not make the transition until about a month later when The Dandy went full colour, and later strips to make the transition were often retooled in the case of Blinky.) Lobby group Walk Ride GM, an influential campaigning organisation, who have been cosy with Andy Burnham and of TfGM, has publicly called for ‘an urgent review into the cycle hire scheme’ by Burnham and TfGM. And she has revealed he would copy the faces she pulled when she threw a tantrum to use them for Beryl.

But the plans were dropped because Beryl is a fictional character. And the decision was welcomed by Dundee politicians who claimed she was a bad role model for kids.

If you’re looking for an effective way to test your year 1 learners on key literacy and comprehension skills, then our fantastic literacy test is the perfect resource for you! TfGM owns and manages the scheme, which is operated by Beryl, and we are working together to restore the availability of bikes as soon as possible. In September 1990, it was decided to merge the Topper with another of D. C. Thomson's long-running comics, The Beezer and the two comics combined as Beezer and Topper. This continued in publication until 1993; it subsequently closed, with a small amount of content from the combined comic subsequently relocating into other D. C. Thomson publications The Beano and The Dandy. A little more clarity from TfGM would be reassuring at this point since they own the system. Mealy-mouthed responses with no timeframes aren’t good enough, nor are glowing comments about the scheme being 'hugely popular' and usage three times more than expected,when there are presently so few bikes available. In addition, we have been experiencing increasingly high demand for our bikes, with usage around three times higher than expected, and following the opening of thirty new stations in the last month in Trafford and Manchester city centre we are also seeing a change in how they are being used.

What is alsoclear is that if Beryl bikes go the way of Mobikes then which operator will want to set up a new scheme in Manchester? Let’shope these issues are temporary, a comma not a full stop. The overall system has to constantly almost stay one step ahead of those who are trying to vandalise the scheme or at least stay in step with them,” Ellis continues. “So it's a big part of any bike share system in the UK and any system. I think, speaking to colleagues within the industry across Europe, for whatever reason, it is worse in the UK than it is in other countries. But it's not a Manchester differential, it's just a challenge that we face, and a challenge that we always knew we were going to face.” Reason: The founders were: ‘Very, very unhappy [and] frustrated’ with the number of women on stage and the roles for women and…the initial impetus was to redress the balance and to put [their] stories on stage.’ Beryl the Peril first appeared in the first issue of The Topper in 1953. She was created to be a female equivalent to The Beano's Dennis the Menace. Davey Law, her artist and creator, drew inspiration from his daughter, who would often pull faces during her tantrums. [1] The strips were similar in concept to the Dennis the Menace ones in that she would cause chaos through menacing her neighbours, parents and school teachers. In 1958, Beryl was chosen as one of the few of D.C. Thomson's characters to earn an annual all to herself, consisting solely from reprints in past years. His most famous creation, Dennis the Menace, first appeared in The Beano issue 452, dated 17 March 1951. Due to British comics being printed several days before distribution to newsagents (bearing the date of the following week to give them a longer shelf life), it seems beyond dispute that the UK Dennis saw print before Hank Ketcham's identically named Dennis the Menace, which began syndication in the USA on 12 March 1951. It is possible that - at the very latest - the British version could have made his public debut on the same day as his Stateside counterpart, although it seems likely that he preceded him even in that. However, it is still unknown which character was actually created first. Law's Dennis was a juvenile anti-hero, uncontrollable and destructive, drawn in spontaneous, edgy lines, and was an immediate hit; the strip eventually displaced Biffo the Bear on the comic's full colour front cover in 1974. Law went on to create Beryl the Peril, a similarly anarchic female character, for the Topper in 1953, and the accident-prone soldier Corporal Clott for The Dandy in 1960.
