Reception and Legacy
Since her debut in 1953, Minnie has been hallowed as a national treasure amongst British children for generations. Long considered one of the readers' favourite characters, she was created during what many fans feel is the Beano's golden age where other famous characters were created such as Dennis the Menace and Roger the Dodger. Alongside the Dandy's Desperate Dan, she was given her own statue in Dundee in 2001. She was also featured in the line-up of McDonalds happy meal toys in Britain and has several models and figurines. Aswell as featuring on much of the Beano Merchanise, such as T-Shirts and figures, Minnie is often featured in the comic's countless spin-offs such as videos, annuals and video games.

Famous quotes containing the words reception and/or legacy:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
