Theme park tie-ins, a website, spin-off magazines, and animated television programmes starring the popular comic characters (several for Dennis the Menace) became common, keeping The Beano in popular culture. The turn of the millennium began a sales decline and led to friendly rival The Dandy being discontinued in 2012. Eventually, The Beano recovered after the creation of its magazine subscription service, which also shipped internationally. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Stories">Stories</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Beano&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Stories">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/List_of_Beano_comic_strips" title="List of Beano comic strips">List of Beano comic strips</a></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Jimmy_and_the_Magic_Patch_adventure_strip_comic_scan_example.jpeg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Panel 11 of issue 272's Jimmy and His Magic Patch story: drawing of a schoolboy in his school uniform standing by the front window of a pet shop, looking sympathetically at mice playing with a spinning hamster wheel inside the shop.

Prose stories were a page of text with an illustration at the top. Some stories were about animals with artwork by former Big Five illustrator<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTE''History_of_The_Beano''200850-100">[92]</a> Richard "Toby" Baines,<a href="#cite_note-:1-101">[93]</a><a href="#cite_note-102">[94]</a> but the longest-running prose character in the magazine's history was Prince Ivor, who first starred in Follow the Secret Hand.<a href="#cite_note-king-103">[95]</a> The last prose story to appear was Ace From Space in 1955.<a href="#cite_note-Ace-104">[96]</a> Although comic strips have featured in The Beano since issue 1, their contents has changed throughout. Anthropomorphic animals were common stars that would partake in human activities,<a href="#cite_note-105">[97]</a><a href="#cite_note-:1-101">[93]</a><a href="#cite_note-106">[98]</a> and the punchlines occurred from the failures to do so. Misbehaving children showed most popular with Lord Snooty and His Pals becoming the first longest-running strip when it concluded in 1991, but the most well known that continue to appear in issues are Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, The Bash Street Kids, and Roger the Dodger. Some adult-starring characters also misbehaved but they were usually portrayed as incompetent, notably <a href="/wiki/Jonah_(comics)" title="Jonah (comics)">Jonah</a>. In the late 20th century, merging comic strip characters in the same vicinity became common in the franchise, such as the video game Beanotown Racing, but characters living together in "Beanotown" became a prominent feature of comic strips into the present.<a href="#cite_note-Beanotown1-107">[99]</a><a href="#cite_note-Beanotown2-108">[100]</a><a href="#cite_note-109">[Note 9]</a> Due to the initial target audience of The Beano being schoolboys, masculine interests, hobbies, and values dominated issues constantly. Aside from aforementioned adventure stories and comedic characters, there were cowboys,<a href="#cite_note-110">[101]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[102]</a><a href="#cite_note-112">[103]</a> aliens,<a href="#cite_note-113">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-Ace-104">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-:0-52">[46]</a> kings,<a href="#cite_note-king-103">[95]</a> the supernatural,<a href="#cite_note-114">[105]</a><a href="#cite_note-115">[106]</a> fantasy creatures<a href="#cite_note-116">[107]</a> (and talking animals), and men whose lifestyle<a href="#cite_note-117">[108]</a> or jobs<a href="#cite_note-118">[109]</a> require physical strength (despite the story making their careers incidental). The Beano alternated between mocking or idolising these characters through story formats; wealthy characters causing mischief, caring about their families<a href="#cite_note-king-103">[95]</a> or being shown underprivileged lives made the working-class audience relate and sympathise with them.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTE''80_Years''201811-119">[110]</a> Female characters were usually supporting a male character, joint protagonist with a male character,<a href="#cite_note-120">[111]</a><a href="#cite_note-121">[112]</a><a href="#cite_note-122">[113]</a> or the antagonist. Prose stories starring girls and women were about the protagonist searching out the truth to a secret, usually over a friend's/family disappearance,<a href="#cite_note-123">[114]</a><a href="#cite_note-124">[115]</a><a href="#cite_note-125">[116]</a> or they were <a href="/wiki/Witches" class="mw-redirect" title="Witches">witches</a> cursing or tormenting the male protagonists.<a href="#cite_note-126">[117]</a><a href="#cite_note-127">[118]</a> Female comic characters were also in supporting roles with or join-protagonist with a male character, but the starring characters notably had binary stereotypical traits: drawn as tall and flowy, Swanky, Lanky Liz is obsessed with fashion and makeup and acts vain and snobbish, whereas <a href="/wiki/Pansy_Potter" title="Pansy Potter">Pansy Potter</a>, Minnie the Minx and Toots from The Bash Street Kids share the round-faced and snub-nosed art style of the boys in their stories and are unruly <a href="/wiki/Tomboy" title="Tomboy">tomboys</a> (in Pansy Potter's case, showcases the strength she inherited from her father). <a href="/wiki/Non-White" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-White">Non-White</a> characters starred in their stories either set in Africa,<a href="#cite_note-128">[119]</a> Asia,<a href="#cite_note-129">[120]</a> or South America, or were about the character adapting to a new life in the United Kingdom.<a href="#cite_note-130">[121]</a> Stories used to vary in length and layout, but in 2012, The Beano debuted a chapter called Funsize Funnies where shorter comic strips shared some pages.
