SUCCESS...
AND
IT'S OFFICIAL!
How it was all Achieved in pictures;
First I needed to Square Up the Comic's Front Page, AS I had no computer at the time!
and The Beano layout was specially commissioned for the event...
Next I started on the individual squares...
This was Nasher's left ear - complete with measurements
this was his hair details
and this diagram showed nipper's hair and ears!
Finally this diagram showed the final letter in the question 'where's dennis?
Check the original front page 'grids' to see the First square of the story line...
