Dennis (comic)
Dennis (Original title: Dennis the Menace ) is a comic strip by Hank Ketcham , which was first published in 1951.
On March 12, 1951, the first episode of Dennis the Menace , which consists of only one panel , appeared in 16 daily newspapers. Within a year, the number of newspapers publishing the comic strip rose to over 100. The comic is now published in over 1000 newspapers in 48 countries. After the inventor's death in 2001, the strip was taken care of by other cartoonists. It is distributed by King Features Syndicate .
The inspiration for the character came from the then 4-year-old son of Hank Ketcham with the same first name. Four years later a separate series was created.
content
Dennis is a rascal who causes great chaos with his parents and neighbors, and especially with retired Mr. Wilson, with his ideas. Dennis is the best example that the opposite of "good" is not "bad" but "well meant", because his willingness to help often ends in chaos.
