- They Changed It, Now It Sucks: A common complaint among older readers of newer comics. For some, the change of dimensions of the annual for the 2011 edition was pretty pointless and generally horrible.
- Serious enough that Nigel Dobbyn, the artist for Billy the Cat, quit, resulting in the superhero's absence from the 2012 annual.
- Toy Ship: Dennis the Menace — Minnie the Minx.
- Daniel "Danny" Deathshead and Toots from The Bash Street Kids.
- Unfortunate Implications: Biffo the Bear's human aunt. Bananagirl is Bananaman's neice according to the Beano webiste but Bananaman is a child and his strips never show his siblings so that implies one of his siblings may have had a child and been disowned because of it. Which would also make sense as to why Bananaman never features in Super School strips.

- We're Still Relevant, Dammit!: Robbie Rebel, the short-lived hip and contemporary version of Dennis the Menace.
