=== For [[The Dandy (Comic Bookcomics)|The Dandy]] [[Comic Book]]: ===
 
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The near-universal reaction to ''Dandy Xtreme'', the [[Totally Radical]] [[Retool]], which very nearly [[Franchise Killer|killed the title off completely]].
Line 6:
*** And let's not forget the frankly [[Off-Model|weird new looks]] for old favourites Korky the Cat, Bananaman and Desperate Dan.
** Uh oh. ABC readership figures reveal a 48% drop from July-December 2010 to January-June 2011. The readers are voting with their money it seems, yelling a loud chorus of [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]. That could prove to be the [[Franchise Killer]].
* [[Unfortunate Implications]] / [[Values Dissonance]]: being a [[Cowboy]], Desperate Dan is pretty much set in the rootin'est, tootin'est depiction of the [[Wild West]] ever published in the UK. Of course, the also means that he lives right next to [[Injun Country]]. As a result, modern Dandy editors consider Dan something of an embarrassment, and have even tried to put people off Dan by making him [[Took a Level In Dumbass|a complete idiot]], and when that didn't work they [[Put Onon a Bus|"retired" Dan]], which thankfully [[The Bus Came Back|didn't last long]]. Possibly due to the fact that the percentage of Native Americans living in the United Kingdom is not very large so their being represented fairly in a comic book makes not terribly important in the UK, or maybe even the fact that Dan is a fundamentally great idea, any attempt to remove Dan from the lineup is met with great condemnation.
* [[WereWe're Still Relevant, Dammit!]]: Mostly [[Averted]] with the new reboot. Dandy Xtreme... not so much.
