A comic strip featuring children with visual impairments has been produced by the Beano and Guide Dogs to raise awareness of those experiencing sight loss.

The comic called Beano Presents – A Buddy for Life sees Erbert, one of the Beano’s Bash Street Kids, discuss his recent sight loss diagnosis with friends, and make a visit to the Guide Dogs National Centre.
