Does anyone remember the original Dennis the Menace? I mean, before he was watered down for a more popular audience. In the beginning he definitely was a menace. You can google some old cartoons and you can see when he changed.... There's a clear clue. When he was a mean little kid his eyebrows slanted down towards his nose. Then the brows became less sinister and so did he. And less funny.
I can't get used to te idea of Dennis being blond, or wearing anyhing other than the striped pullover and black shorts he always had in the Beano (40+) years ago when I used to read it every week, he always ended up with the slipper from Dad even when he didn't deserve it. I was somethng of a fan back in the day, so when my friend P decided t buy me a birhday present a while ago she bought a Dennis the Menace alarm clock -P "It's a birthday present" SA "Hw old is the little boy?" P "42"
