Laura Howell, the first woman to draw Minnie is the current artist, first appearing as Minnie's 65th Year in the comic approached. As of April 4th 2021, her work has appeared in 127 Beano issues. All services are based on working days. Weekends, Bank Holidays and other closed days are not counted. On 30 July 2011, Minnie and several of her Beano co-stars were a part of a UK advertising campaign for National Trust. This included a special of The Beano which included a comic strip of her and her father exploring Northern Ireland for Finn McCool and Giant's Causeway. Disney characters can have some simple and easy-to-copy outfits, and most of them are based on books.

Get the face paints out. Book characters can easily come to life with cute painted faces. Think The Tiger Who Came to Tea or the Cheshire Cat. By 2007, Minnie was struggling in the readers' poll, and in early 2008 several significant changes were made in response to this. Iain McLaughlin took over as writer, and in Beano issue 3422, dated 15 March 2008, former Desperate Dan artist Ken Harrison took over as the strip's artist. Harrison re-introduced many aspects of Leo Baxendale's original depiction of the character and reverted her jumper to its original colours. However, the style of writing changed, with McLaughlin placing greater emphasis on the relationship between Minnie and her Dad. Some minor changes were made to her appearances, with her standard brown or grey school shoes replaced with the more modern trainers. A new tagline was introduced, citing Minnie as the World's Wildest Tom Boy, similar to Dennis the Menace's original tagline of being the World's Wildest Boy. Minnie's Teacher also became a regular character during this time, and Minnie now attends what appears to be an all-girls school. The changes reinvigorated the strip as Minnie soon returned to a top four position in the poll. Comment: Great costumes, excellent quality. Had such fun wearing my Queen of Hearts dress as did my partner the Mad Hatter. Great staff as well, thank you so much. Comment: The womble costume was awesome at the festival this weekend. It has become a bit of a legend xxx Thank you so much 🙂 xxx Make a simple mask. Paper plates are great for making simple masks. You can turn your child into pretty much any World Book Day character they fancy with a little crafting.Minnie is bad at homework, resisting temptation and doing what she is told. She likes to make her own decisions. Minnie's most embarrassing memory that happened to her was when she once came second to Cuthbert in a face-pulling competition, and she thought she would never be able to show her face in public again. It turned out Wilfrid was standing on his toe, so she does not feel so bad about it now. Get creative with cardboard. There's almost nothing you can't make with some cardboard, scissors, and a good idea.

Minnie also attended Dennis the Menace's 50th Birthday House Party. Like the other guests, Minnie bought Dennis a Beano Annual 2001. She participated in all menacing party games but due to her friendship with Dennis she was one of few to not get menaced. She can also be seen fighting in the final food fight and twirling her beret when the celebrities and Dandy characters arrive. Minnie is an uncontrollable schoolgirl. She can be described as a feisty energetic tomboy, preferring mischievous and violent antics over those that would be normal for a typical ten-year-old girl. Despite her tomboyish nature, Minnie has a bit of a girly side, as she has a very feminine hair style by having girlish pigtails, she wears a skirt, and in some strips she wears pink pyjamas and her room is pink. As opposed to Dennis' boisterous menacing methods, Minnie favours a more impish style of causing trouble which she refers to as 'minxing'. Despite this, she is still keen to get into brawls much like her other fellow Beano characters. She also seems to have a distinct hatred for snob-like behaviour and spoilt children. Minnie can be deemed as hyperactive as evident in several strips which show her destroying furniture in her home or a shop whilst playing one of her games. She also considers herself to be a rebelciting she hates people telling her what to do. Like her friend Toots, Minnie is good at Football, while not being as much into it as Toots, she still is really good at it. Starting from the 2010s, Minnie is shown to show traits of been sassy and vain. Petrie decided to retire with his final strip appearing on 13 January 2001. The story consisted of Minnie meeting her former artist and bidding farewell. The strip was Petrie's 2000th and last, a tally for one artist drawing the same strip in the Beano only surpassed by David Sutherland on the Bash Street Kids.
