Comic becomes a cartoon as she helps judge joke competition

Suzi Ruffell has been turned into a Beano cartoon as she joins the comic’s search to find Britain’s funniest class.

The  stand-up was depicted next to Minnie The Minx to publicise the competition – and the winning pupils will also be immortalised in a strip.

Already hundreds of primary schools have submitted their best gags, which Ruffel helped whittle down to a shortlist that now go forward to a public vote on beano.com to decide the winner.

She said: ’It’s such an incredible opportunity for kids to find their inner comedian and let their imaginations run wild. Judging the jokes was a tough job and now it’s over to the public to decide who will appear in the comic with me.’

Perhaps unsurprisingly, a fart gag – as supplied by pupils of Sprotbrough Orchard Infant School, Doncaster – is currently leading the polls…
