Jak (comics)

Jak (comics)

Jak (Full Name, Jak Hurley) is a comic strip and character in the UK comic The Dandy, or more accurately, three characters, all of whom had blonde spiky hair.

Jak's first incarnation was drawn by Jimmy Hansen starting from issue 2924, dated 6 December 1997. The strip played entirely on his relationship with his father.

The second incarnation in the early 2000s was drawn by David Sutherland who drew Jak's dad with black hair and a beard, and introduced a cat called Spike.

Finally, Jak was reincarnated with the Dandy from issue 3282, dated 16 October 2004, coinciding with the relaunch of the comic that same week. This time it was drawn by Wayne Thompson, and the cast had changed again, introducing Jak's friend Todd and sister Mandy — and Jak got the surname Hurley. Unusually, this time Jak was promoted as a brand new character, even though he had only disappeared from the comic a year or two earlier.

With the launch of Dandy Xtreme in August 2007, the strip was renamed Jak and Todd, giving Jak mk III's best friend equal billing.

Jak's parents names are Bruce and Jayne Hurley. [Dandy Xtreme no.3436 20 December 2007]

In The Dandy Annual 2009, there was a strip, which featured Ollie Fliptrik going round The Dandy Movie Set. When he visited Jak's caravan, he told the readers that '"He's not exactly like he seems in his stories..."', as it was backstage, making Jak seem as though he was an actor. Before Ollie had said this, a conversation had been held between the two:
"Ollie: Hey, Jak. What's up?"
"Jak: I finally got the 1974 Moldovian Three Gringo Stamp - unlicked! How awesome is that?"
This may also have something to do with the ongoing rivalry between the pair, trying to be cooler than one another.
