Dennis the Menace is Britain's longest surviving comic villain and star of the Beano, and there is no sign that his notorious conduct is improving with age.
Dennis, who boasts a fan club of 1.5m members, is famous for his spiky hair and striped jersey, and is the unlovable horror who ultimately became the star of his own TV cartoon, with voices by Hugh Laurie and Billy Connolly.
Dennis celebrates his birthday in the latest issue of the Beano this week, combined with Comic Relief activities involving celebrities such as Ali G and Billy Connolly, inevitably finishing up with a custard-pie fight.

 Beano strips
It's probably not an overstatement to say that Dennis the Menace revolutionised the Beano, and, by extension, British comics in general.
Dennis introduced us to two of his pals: the mop-topped Curly (who had been his friend back in the early days), and the pastry-fixated Pie-Face (who just may be related to another young acquaintance of Dennis' from way back).
Although this was still the TV-friendly, hyperactive, three-dimensional Dennis of recent years, such rampant modernity was balanced by a number of small touches he introduced which, to the trained eye, appeared to pay tribute to Law's dinstictive style.

The series ran on CBS for four seasons from October 1959 to September 1963 and was shown in the UK as Just Dennis to avoid confusion with The Beano comic character also called Dennis The Menace.
Wilson was never intended to be a major character when the series first launched, but the interplay between Dennis and the perpetually aggravated neighbour worked better than anyone anticipated and the character ended up in episode after episode.
Ketcham had favoured an animated version of his character (who was named for his son after his wife called the boy a menace), but the networks weren't interested, so the artist concentrated on the strip.
