Dennis the Menace Takes a Poke at Poison #[nn]

In this 1961 free educational comic, Dennis the Menace learns a vital lesson when his well-meaning attempt to help Ruff with a scratch leads to a trip to the medicine cabinet—and a sobering talk from his parents about the dangers of misusing medicine and other household poisons. Written by Fred Toole and illustrated by Al Wiseman, the story uses Dennis’ familiar mischief to deliver a clear, kid-friendly message about safety, with the artist also handling the cover pencils and inks.
