Overview
- The collectible pull-out is on sale nationwide from Wednesday, November 19, 2025, in this week’s Beano.
- The special satirizes 2025 headlines and kid-culture crazes, including “Italian brainrot,” the “6-7” meme and the “Chicken Jockey” catchphrase.
- A central strip depicts Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Sir Keir Starmer blasting off on a bungled space mission with a miniature JD Vance styled as a Labubu, as the Bash Street Kids outwit the adults.
- Cameos span Alan Carr, Katy Perry in a Blue Origin spacesuit, Taylor Swift and a battle of the bands with Oasis and Coldplay, with Dennis the Menace unleashing holograms of the year’s moments.
- Beano’s Mike Stirling says the edition gives kids the “final word” on 2025, with caricatures drawn by longtime illustrator Nigel Parkinson.
