 Upon moving to Burnside, Dexter began appearing in a new story entitled Dexter's Dozen.Barrie Tomlinson remained the writer, but Mike White took over as the artist, using a much more realistic style than the comedic art which had been seen in "The Hard Man".This was in keeping with the initial tone of the new story, which eschewed comedy in favour of a serious depiction of the struggles of the lowly club.
