A,

merica's No. 1

pin-up

boy

has millions

chuckling

daily the

result

of the

sharp

pen

and shrewd

observations of

Hank Ketcham,

Dennis' father. The

original

Dennis

Ketcham is now a strapping boy of

seven, but his

counterpart will

eter-

nally

hover

between

the ages

of

four

and

five.

Since his

introduction

via

news-

papers

in the spring

of

1951,

Dennis

the

Menace has

whammed

and

wheedled his

way into being

about the

most

popular

of

present-day

little guys.

The

first Dennis

the Menace

book sold in

fabulous numbers

and

More

Dennis

THE

Menace

promises

to

do

even better.

His spread

throughout

the

United

States

and

other

countries

reseftibles a

small

tidal

wave.

Post-Hall

Syndicate

has

Dennis

in

160

newspapers,

daily

and

Sunday,

and

his

sardonic

little

likeness

has spread even to

merchandise items.

There are

Dennis

the

Menace

cocktail

napkins, barbecue

aprons, and

kitchen

towels;

and

later

Dennis

the Menace

animated motion picture cartoons,

sheet

music,

records, and

TV will

swell

the

list.

No

wonder

Dennis

the Menace

has become a

descriptive

term

for

any

man,

woman,

or

child

who likes

to

kick

over

the tracesl
