:"This article refers to The Dandy character. For other uses see Blinky (disambiguation)"
Blinky is a fictional character in a comic strip in the UK comic "The Dandy", about a boy with large, thick glasses and the chaos he always causes, as what he sees through his glasses is a galaxy different from the rest of the world. His trusty sidekick, Yellow Dog, always seems to get caught up in Blinky's adventures, and is very keen to get rid of him.
When Blinky first appeared in "The Beezer and Topper" in 1990, the design of the character seemed to be a younger version of an earlier Beezer comic strip called "Colonel Blink". However, when the strip moved to "The Dandy" in 1993 after "The Beezer and Topper" folded, and Nick Brennan began drawing the strip, Blinky took on a new look that was now quite unlike Colonel Blink. The design was altered further over the next few years.
Following the relaunch in late 2007, Nick Brennan, the artist, left the Dandy, and so there were no Blinky strips being produced from then on. However, from issue 3438 in January 2008, the character has returned as reprints from the late 1990s.
