Dennis the Menace (Not dead - was never alive)

Post by mik »

I only found out today that Dennis The Menace is not only a UK Beano character, but is also a completely different Mercun character. The characters are different, conceived independently, yet each has a canine sidekick, and - rather mind bendingly - both apparently appeared in print for the first time on exactly the same day (12March 1951) in separate publications on either side of the Atlantic. :shock:

WEIRD! :?

Dennis is an enjoyable kids movie with Walter Matthau and Christopher Lloyd 😁

Yeah, they used to show the American cartoon here but just called it Dennis as DC Thomson had the rights to Dennis the Menace.
An absolute unit
