You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''EPIC Magazine''''' (Previously known as '''''Dennis the Menace and Gnasher's EPIC Magazine''''' (2014–2016), '''''100% Official Dennis the Menace and Gnasher Megazine''''' (2013–2014) and '''''BeanoMAX''''' (2007–2013)) was a monthly [[United Kingdom|British]] [[comic]] magazine published by [[D.C. Thomson & Co. Ltd]] It was originally a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] of the UK comic, [[The Beano]]. Each issue had 40 pages and costs £3.99.

The first issue was published on 15 February 2007 and was a [[Comic Relief]] special.<ref>((cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6349543.stm |title=Doctor Who joins Beano comic cast |work=[[BBC News]] |date=10 February 2007))</ref> The BeanoMAX title ceased with issue #79 in June 2013, and the following issue #80 was rebranded as '''''100% Official Dennis the Menace and Gnasher Megazine'''''. It was renamed again to '''''Dennis and Gnasher's EPIC Magazine''''' a year later and was shortened to its current name in 2016. The magazine was cancelled in 2019.

== Strips ==
During the ''BeanoMAX'' era, the strips also starred in the weekly ''Beano''. However, some of these started in the weekly, and also starred in ''BeanoMAX'', but ended up being removed from the weekly (still showing sometimes, but only once every few months) and carrying on in the 'MAX, for example, the Neds. There are now only two original strips in the monthly comic which have never appeared in the ''Beano''.

== Logos ==

The logo has always been a combination of the old Beano logo (from 1977–1998), slightly updated with the help of computer technology, and a blue, [[Graffito (drawing technique)|graffito]] style MAX alongside it.
The original logo had the ''Beano'' logo as it was on the weekly comic, with the MAX overlapping it slightly at the right.
In late 2007, the MAX part of the logo started to grow in size. It was almost twice the height as the ''Beano'' logo at one point.
In 2008, for 3 issues in the summer, the logo changed so that the MAX was predominant to the ''Beano'' logo. Instead of the ''Beano'' logo running horizontal, it was now vertical, alongside the MAX which was by now on a diagonal bar. After these three issues, the ''BeanoMAX'' logo changed back to the style it had gained in late 2007.
In 2009, the logo changed again, with the ''Beano'' logo directly above the MAX logo.
