The final printed edition was issued on 4 December 2012, the comic's 75th anniversary, after sales slumped to 8,000 a week from a high of two million a week in the 1950s. On the same day, The Dandy relaunched as an online comic, The Digital Dandy, appearing on the Dandy website and in the Dandy App. The digital relaunch wasn't as successful as planned and the comic ended just six months later.
