THE BEANO'S BIFFO THE BEAR'S HOME MOVIES...

A lovely Christmas cover from the December 1954 issue of The BEANO to drool over this time around, Crivvies.  Although printing technology has advanced in leaps and bounds in modern times, there's just something about that old 'Ben Day' dots colouring technique which adds to the atmosphere in a way which modern colouring simply can't quite match - despite its superior reproduction.  Look at that snow-clad logo - absolutely great, isn't it?
