One Direction are to become cartoon characters in The Beano in order to raise money for Comic Relief. The boy band are to appear in monthly spin-off magazine BeanoMAX, which goes on sale on Wednesday.

Also making an appearances in the Beano are Jessie J, Olly Murs and former Doctor Who, David Tennant. In the Beano story, One Direction and friends help Dennis The Menace and Minnie The Minx organise a charity show. One Direction said: “We’ve grown up with the magazine so now to actually appear in it with Dennis and Gnasher themselves is incredible.”

In another Comic Relief fundraising scheme, comedian Harry Hill is to guest edit The Beano’s Red Nose Day special. He is only the second person to do it after Wallace and Gromit animator Nick Park. Harry Hill has written some of his own strips as well as co-writing the main Dennis The Menace story which sees the mischievous character getting his head shaved. The Beano special goes on sale on 6 March.

In truth cheeky, madcap and zany Harry Hill is a perfect fit for Guest Editor of the Beano and infact would make a perfect comic book / cartoon character in the pages of the Beano. He is not alone – Jedward would be a shoe in with their wacky behaviour and Robbie Williams has the required cheeky chappy, mischievious personality.
