Just as a sidenote: Hank Ketcham is dead; why isn't Dennis the Menace? I have always loathed this strip, with the obnoxious -- no, that's not strong enough -- repellent? disgusting? -- Dennis representing some backwards view of the American Boy and of course Margaret, the girl you can tell is smart because she's homely and has glasses. Why would someone continue this mess long after the creator and whatever reality he was drawing from have long passed away?
If there's anyone who finds charm or truth in this comic, I don't ever, ever want to meet them.
This rant was brought to you by a chance glimpse of the comics page. . . .
