		Quoth Ketcham pére: “That’s just a chapter that was a short one that closed, which unfortunately happens in some families.” Yes, but in a family in which the father lived in high style off the revenues of a strip whose title character he completely alienated.
		Hank Ketcham’s memoir, The Merchant of Dennis the Menace, reads like the testimony of a very talented, lucky, and good natured man. A skilled draughtsman from childhood, he dropped out of college in 1938 to work for Walter Lantz, the animator whose main franchise was Woody Woodpecker.
		Ketcham always made respectful noises towards “Peanuts,” which unlike “Dennis the Menace” was both drawn and written by one man. But resentment creeps in around the edges: He wrote that Schulz’s “features would suffer little damage if some thoughtless editor reduced the reproduction size of the comic section.

		Although the background items shown in the panels are old fashioned, due to the time-frame in which they were produced, the actual characters and mini-stories look just as fresh and original as they would had you just cracked open your Sunday paper and saw them for the first time.
		It is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Ketcham, and to the brilliance of the single panel stories, that today, over 50 years later, these are just as enjoyable as ever.
