| − | '''Dennis the Menace''' is a 1951 humoristic newspaper cartoon series created by Hank Ketcham. It features a young boy who always causes mayhem, which works on his parents and especially his neighbour [[George Wilson]]'s nerves. George's wife, [[Martha Wilson]], usually defends little Dennis in front of her husband. Between 1959-1963 the comic strip was adapted into a TV sitcom, which [[Matt Groening]] saw as a child and disappointed him deeply, since Dennis didn't really live up to being a menace. As Groening described in the documentary ''[[My Wasted Life]]'' (2000) it was with this instinct in mind that he created [[Bart Simpson]] to be more like an actual menace. ''Dennis the Menace'' has been adapted into various films and an animated TV series too. | + | '''Dennis the Menace''' is a troublemaker. |
