DENNIS'S FIRST CHRISTMAS...



The above three-quarter page strip from 1951 was the first one to feature DENNIS THE MENACE in a 'Christmas' setting. That this was early in his BEANO career is attested by his diminutive size.

He eventually shrank back down a bit, but here's the Menace before he first gained the look that made him appear as if he'd been on the rack.
