Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete.

I've been collecting comics for 10 years, and haven't been able to find a single amount of evidence that this comic strip ever existed. I've checked hundreds of issues of The Beano from not only the time period this article was made (mid-2003) but from everywhere, and nothing. I've scoured the internet, and nothing, save for some forks and mirrors. I've checked annuals, nothing, summer specials, nothing...notice that the original (IP address) author has repeatedly tried to blank his/her article since he/she wrote it, which further confirms that this is just a load o' made up codswallop.

 * Delete. Here is the full text of the first revision: The Sidney comic has Sidney the spiky haired student,Wiggy his dog,Spiker his cat and Jo,Leon and Jack his birds.Sidney wishes to o on a adventure with only Danny the leaderof the bash street kids. I daresay this was a speedy then; unfortunately, it is not in its current form. Delete as non-humorous hoax, and prepare special commendation for BillyH in acknowledgment of his extraordinary effort.
