British comedy legend Rowan Atkinson has been immortalised in a special bespoke Beano comic strip. Marking the return to TV screens with his first brand-new comedy character in over a decade, the launch of the unique comic strip is to celebrate the upcoming release of new nine-part Netflix series: Man vs Bee.
This ultimate British pop-culture comedy crossover, drawn by celebrated Beano illustrator Nigel Parkinson, stars Atkinson as the series’ eponymous hero 'Trevor,' a hapless house sitter who attempts to take care of a luxury mansion before chaos ensues after being invaded by a mischievous bee.
Inspired by his unique slapstick comedic credentials from the show, the bee-spoke strip transports Trevor to Beanotown. He runs into serious difficulties alongside a cast of favourite characters, including favourites such as Dennis, Gnasher, Bea (Dennis’s baby sister), Minnie, Pieface, JJ and Rubi.
