Dennis the Menace #28
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Breezing Along," Dennis the Menace gets an unexpected makeover when Alice, fed up with his usual dirt-streaked look, gives him a thorough bath and dresses him in a suit—only to send him out to face the world clean and proper. Margaret and Henry barely recognize him, leaving Dennis both bewildered and oddly proud as he tries to keep his new image intact. Written by Fred Toole and drawn by Al Wiseman (with inks by Wiseman), this 1958 classic captures the charm and quiet chaos of Dennis’s mischievous spirit, all rendered in the crisp, expressive style that defined the era—complete with a cover by Al Wiseman that perfectly captures the moment.
Dennis Mitchell and his friends attempt to build a kite, but when Dennis's father Henry Mitchell takes control of the project, his unbridled enthusiasm sends him soaring through the neighborhood—literally—with the oversized kite in tow. As chaos ensues and neighbors scramble to help reel him back down, the whole street gets caught up in the mayhem of one man's sudden flight.
In "A Clothes Call!", Dennis is given a rare makeover when Alice, fed up with his usual mess, gives him a bath and outfits him in a proper suit—only to find Margaret and Henry completely fail to recognize him. The moment is pure, lighthearted chaos, as Dennis’s clean-cut look throws everyone off, turning a simple chore into a hilarious misunderstanding.
Dennis pouts through a dinner of stewed tomatoes until his dad Henry casually agrees to take him camping—a promise the eager boy immediately holds him to for that very night. When Dennis insists on taking a "secret shortcut" through town to reach the park, the pair finds themselves hopelessly lost, chased by an aggressive dog, and ultimately camping on the grounds of an exclusive country club instead. The next morning brings an unwelcome surprise when club members discover two tents pitched right on their golf course, turning Dennis and Henry's outdoor adventure into an embarrassing spectacle.
