Quite often, one comic will make a tongue-in-cheek jibe at the other ( e. g., a character meeting an elderly lady, and stating that she's " older than the jokes in The Dandy ").

During the Dandy Xtreme era the comic had no cover star, and covers were often given over to celebrities or current trends, but after the comic returned to its weekly, all-comic format in October 2010, the popular British comedian Harry Hill took over the cover spot.
