Production notes

What's the most important thing about being a kid? Having fun, of course! Playing by the rules is highly overrated. That's how Dennis sees it. He's all about wild, over-the-top fun, no matter what kind of trouble he gets into. And he's got Gnasher, his dog and best friend, as a partner in crime. So get ready for some hilarious adventures - the kind that drive adults nuts. Dennis and Gnasher think the grown-up world is dull, so can you blame them for wanting to shake things up?

This is the original Dennis the Menace (not that bratty Mitchell kid!), who first appeared in Beano in 1954.
