Sorry, why do we want to delete this? The revision history says, "not major enough", but that doesn't tell me a whole lot. There are tons of articles around here about extremely minor things, and they're perfectly acceptable. Why don't we want this one?

Balloonatics[[edit source]]
It seems like the first issue of BeanoMAX actually included 2 connected comic stories, complete with their own title cards. The first is "Dennis the Menace in Balloonatics", and the second is "The Invasion of Bash Street", which seemingly follows on from the events of the previous story. Shouldn't there also be a page for the prior story at Dennis the Menace in Balloonatics (comic story)? Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 14:27, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
