Dennis the Menace Giant #49

In "September," Dennis Mitchell dreads the start of school, but his dad, Henry Mitchell, insists he needs to learn to read and count to get a job someday. That night, Dennis dreams he’s a cowboy in the Wild West, only to realize too late he can’t read a sign or count his cattle—leading to a hilarious, lighthearted scramble through a series of mishaps.

In "November," Dennis insists Ruff deserves a special treat for Thanksgiving, leading Henry to ask the Wilsons for help—only to have them misunderstand, thinking Henry is asking for something for his own family. The mix-up sets off a chain of well-meaning but hilariously mistaken intentions, all wrapped in the classic charm of Dennis Mitchell’s mischievous spirit.

In "December," Dennis Mitchell and Joey McDonald are shaken when Margaret Wade tells them there’s no Santa Claus—until Alice Mitchell steps in with the famous "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" letter, stirring up wonder and a little holiday mischief.
