Dennis the Menace comic strip Nov 23 2017

Dennis the Menace is a syndicated newspaper comic strip, created by Hank Ketcham in 1951. The strip focuses on the misadventures of innocently destructive Dennis Mitchell, whose most frequent victim is cranky neighbor Mr. Wilson. The comic spawned a live-action television sitcom which ran from 1959 until 1963, two separate animated series adaptations, a 1993 theatrical film starring Walter Matthau as Mr. Wilson, and various video sequels.
