Product Information

Think about sleepwear - Pyjamas and nighties can work for all sorts of costumes, like The Darlings from Peter Pan or Sophie from The BFG. Minnie's dad wants her to be 'his little princess', 'more lady-like' and 'a good little girl'. Minnie responses by saying "Eww!". Look through EVERYONE'S wardrobes. Dad's tie may make a great Penny Crayon costume and an apron could be fashioned into an Alice in Wonderland dress.

Minnie's most embarrassing memory that happened to her was when she once came second to Cuthbert in a face-pulling competition, and she thought she would never be able to show her face in public again. It turned out Wilfrid was standing on his toe, so she does not feel so bad about it now. All services are based on working days. Weekends, Bank Holidays and other closed days are not counted.

On 30 July 2011, Minnie and several of her Beano co-stars were a part of a UK advertising campaign for National Trust. This included a special of The Beano which included a comic strip of her and her father exploring Northern Ireland for Finn McCool and Giant's Causeway. Make a simple mask. Paper plates are great for making simple masks. You can turn your child into pretty much any World Book Day character they fancy with a little crafting. In 1962, when Baxendale left D.C. Thomson, a new artist was taken on to continue Minnie's adventures. Young art teacher Jim Petrie was given the opportunity. His first strip, coincidentally, started similarly to Baxendale's in that Minnie is seen being asked by her mother to read rather than minx. Much to her mother's dismay, Minnie's chosen book influences her to take up red Indian traditions in which she gets up to much mischief. In the end, however, after aggravating a sleeping bull Minnie is caught by a farmer and taken home to be slippered by her father. Despite the pain, it appears Minnie still attempts to ensure to the public that she is still an Indian stating her name is 'Minnie – Ha!'. She appeared once again alongside Dennis in issue 1894, in which she states that Dennis' famous jersey are actually her trademark thus he has no right to call them 'Dennis Jerseys'. At Christmas, her favourite food are minx pies. But for the rest of the year, it is fish and chips.

She participated in all menacing party games but due to her friendship with Dennis she was one of few to not get menaced. She can also be seen fighting in the final food fight and twirling her beret when the celebrities and Dandy characters arrive.Start with a stripey jumper. It can be the start of many an easy costume including Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, Where's Wally, or Horrid Henry. By 2007, Minnie was struggling in the readers' poll, and in early 2008 several significant changes were made in response to this. Iain McLaughlin took over as writer, and in Beano issue 3422, dated 15 March 2008, former Desperate Dan artist Ken Harrison took over as the strip's artist. Harrison re-introduced many aspects of Leo Baxendale's original depiction of the character and reverted her jumper to its original colours. However, the style of writing changed, with McLaughlin placing greater emphasis on the relationship between Minnie and her Dad. Some minor changes were made to her appearances, with her standard brown or grey school shoes replaced with the more modern trainers. A new tagline was introduced, citing Minnie as the World's Wildest Tom Boy, similar to Dennis the Menace's original tagline of being the World's Wildest Boy. Minnie's Teacher also became a regular character during this time, and Minnie now attends what appears to be an all-girls school. The changes reinvigorated the strip as Minnie soon returned to a top four position in the poll.

Laura Howell, the first woman to draw Minnie is the current artist, first appearing as Minnie's 65th Year in the comic approached. As of April 4th 2021, her work has appeared in 127 Beano issues. Although Harrison has been the main artist throughout this time, when he has been unavailable to draw the strip the main ghost artist has been Laura Howell. Since 2009, occasional Jim Petrie reprints have been used, particularly during the postal strikes in autumn 2009. The first thing she can remember is when her dad left her pram while he nipped into a shop. Minnie slipped the brakes off, then sped downhill at about 50 miles an hour, all the way to the Town Hall. Her dad chased after her the whole way.

Minnie also made a cameo in the 1992 Beano Annual story, "Dennis Through The Beano Book", in which she played the Queen of Hearts. She has also been the star of several Beanotown pantomimes, playing the role of Cinderella in each. Disney characters can have some simple and easy-to-copy outfits, and most of them are based on books. Minnie is an uncontrollable schoolgirl. She can be described as a feisty energetic tomboy, preferring mischievous and violent antics over those that would be normal for a typical ten-year-old girl. Despite her tomboyish nature, Minnie has a bit of a girly side, as she has a very feminine hair style by having girlish pigtails, she wears a skirt, and in some strips she wears pink pyjamas and her room is pink. As opposed to Dennis' boisterous menacing methods, Minnie favours a more impish style of causing trouble which she refers to as 'minxing'. Despite this, she is still keen to get into brawls much like her other fellow Beano characters. She also seems to have a distinct hatred for snob-like behaviour and spoilt children. Minnie can be deemed as hyperactive as evident in several strips which show her destroying furniture in her home or a shop whilst playing one of her games. She also considers herself to be a rebelciting she hates people telling her what to do. Like her friend Toots, Minnie is good at Football, while not being as much into it as Toots, she still is really good at it. Starting from the 2010s, Minnie is shown to show traits of been sassy and vain.
