Talk:Barney Bulldog/@comment-3091825-20101001134238

Young `Ben` didn't arrive for six or seven weeks, and for a few months was an `irregular` character! He then became a weekly partner to Barney till the one page `Barney` period!

It was strange that the comic went against the trend by replacing a human (sort of) character, `Sparky` for a humanised animal (Barney) when sister papers, Beano, Dandy & Topper would eventually discard their `animal` cover stars for human ones! Hmm!?
