Andy Fanton is currently writing Minnie The Minx and The Bash Street Kids in The Beano.

Created in the early 90's, Andy's popular webcomic, The Carrotty Kid, was commissioned into an animated pilot for ITV in 2004 by Cosgrove Hall Films.

However, the pilot of The Carrotty Kid was not transmitted due to ITV restructuring and cutting back on new children's programming.
