Dennis the Menace Bonus Magazine Series #161

On a sweltering summer day, Dennis Mitchell and Tommy Anderson are baffled to see a kid bundled in winter gear—until they learn he’s headed to the ice cream factory to visit his dad. When the factory offers them a tour, Dennis and Tommy don’t hesitate to say yes, eager to cool off and see what’s behind the frozen doors.

Dennis Mitchell’s dad, Henry, finds himself in a wardrobe mishap when he’s asked to wear his wife Alice’s dress while she alters it—only to get locked out of the house mid-try-on. With no blue thread to be found, Alice dashes to the store, leaving Henry stranded in the dress. Things take a turn when Mrs. Wilson mistakes him for her long-lost sister and invites him to dinner with the Ladies’ Club, leaving Henry caught in a situation far more awkward than any prank Dennis could dream up.

Dennis Mitchell’s day at the dinner table takes a turn when his parents ask about his activities—only for him to recall a string of mischievous antics he’d rather not admit to. With a quick, clever smile, he simply says, "I can't remember."

Dennis Mitchell and his dad head to a Boy Scout jamboree, where they join in on a whirlwind of games and outdoor fun. Back home, Dennis gets inspired to turn his backyard into a scouting adventure—only his version of "camping" might be a little too enthusiastic.
