>>98723139It's "J.J.," who indeed looks like girl!Lucio. She was introduced to the Beano a few years ago in her own strip, "J.J's Jokes" in which she sold smartass pranks to other characters at school.
She was brought into Dennis' gang for the new TV show (they wanted a few girls who weren't "soft") but the dim showrunners replaced Curly with her, so fans are blaming the character rather than the bad decision.
Actually like J.J. in the new show, and the show as a whole—though it's not what it could be.
Dennis is bizarrely based on his late 1950s design, quite tall and thin. While a nice tribute to Davy Law it's not a design that lasted long even for him, so it just feels wrong to be using it for a major project.
