The Bogies is a comic strip in The Dandy and Turbo Extreme.[1] It features bunches of nasal mucus and their adventures. Many of the characters names are twists on some famous person or character from pop culture. These characters will often act like celebrities but in a gross manner. It originally appeared in Toxic in 2005, but it moved to The Dandy in June 2008. It has been drawn since the beginning by Nigel Auchterlounie. The last strip in Toxic was a Hock Hogan one, and the first Dandy one was a Splatman and Gobbin story.
