With the move by DC Thomson to online publishing of The Dandy still an item of debate by British comic fans, and with creators such as Jamie Smart suggesting the launch of an all-new creator-driven humour title, Dandy artist Steve Beckett hasn't been letting the grass go - he's only gone and started one.
Steve describes CRUMBS! – The Online Story Paper as "the place to be for brand new daft comics... presented in a fun vintage British comics style, developing and growing over time and will showcase a whole host of new characters.
"The plan is to give Crumbs! comic its own dedicated web site," he says, "once a substantial body of work has been produced."
Right now it's a comic featuring just one artist - Steve - and it's only just begun, but perhaps other creators should drop him a line and suggest combining forces?
