Dennis the Menace #34

Dennis has turned his snowy backyard into a personal beach resort — lounging in a kiddie pool complete with a sailboat, rubber duck, pink float toy, and goldfish, all warmed by a blazing sun lamp, while a bundled-up neighbor looks on in baffled disbelief. Al Wiseman's cover art captures the gap between Dennis's breezy self-satisfaction and the winter world just beyond his makeshift oasis with perfect comic timing. Issue #34 is a cheerful slice of 1959 Mitchell household chaos that fans of Wiseman's clean, expressive linework will find hard to resist.
