Someone mentioned that “Dennis the Menace” is actually two distinct characters – who debuted the same day in the UK and the US – and I thought it would be fun to see these two menaces-to-society grow up a little and meet.

Dennis US is a fairly benign menace, who is generally oblivious to the chaos he produces. He mainly annoys his grumpy neighbor “Mr. Wilson” by not realizing that the old man hates him. Dennis UK is more intentionally malicious, and menaces the character “Walter the Softy” because he’s a stereotypical sissy. I’d like to think that Dennis UK has outgrown his insecurity and embraced the softies in his life.
