On this date exactly thirty years ago the first edition of the Dando Comic strip was published in the Royal Malgravean Times. The comic strip follows the story of a T-Rex and various other groups of dinosaurs as they observe current political and economic events in the United Kingdom of Malgrave and make satirical remarks about the events.
The comic strip received instant popularity as many felt that they often connected with the sarcastic views of the dinosaurs and their views on the political scandals going on in the Malgravean Government, this high popularity has not kept them safe from criticism however as the backlash from one of their comic strips making humorous remarks about the terrorist organization the Malgravean People's Party and the death of civilians at a market stall caused several thousand people to protest outside of the office of the Royal Malgravean Times.
Today the Royal Malgravean Times posts a light hearted edition of Dando poking fun at the international stereotype that Malgravean citizens don't have a sense of humour.
