Is Desperate Dan riding into the sunset?

LONDON, Aug 15: The writing may be on the wall for Britain�s longest-running comic The Dandy - home to much-loved characters like cowboy Desperate Dan and Korky the Cat - after its publisher said it was considering retiring the magazine due to lackluster sales. The Dandy sold more than 2 million copies a week in its 1950s heyday, but with children now more likely to watch television or play videogames, circulation is now below 8,000. (agencies)
