There have been several long-running strips over the years. The longest running strips in The Dandy are Desperate Dan who has been in all issues since the first one in 1937, bar a brief period in 1997 where he 'left' The Dandy, only to return for the comic's 60th anniversary issue in that year. Korky the Cat also featured in the first issue and still made regular appearances up until the 2004 relaunch. It is currently unknown whether this character has been dropped after 67 years.
Originally, Korky the Cat occupied the front cover, but Desperate Dan took over in 1984. Cuddles and Dimples also occupied the front page between 1999 - 2000.
