For UK readers not to miss out and so as to avoid confusion with Beano Comics Dennis, &#8220;Dennis the Pickle&#8221; or &#8220;Just Dennis&#8221; became the marketed name of the Dennis Mitchell. This USA comic strip was drawn by Hank Ketcham. His Dennis was always playing havoc in the Kansas area of Wichita.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_848\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-848\" class=\" wp-image-848 \" title=\"just-dennis-pickle\" src=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/just-dennis-pickle.jpg\" alt=\"Just Dennis the Mennace in 1964\" width=\"500\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/just-dennis-pickle.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/just-dennis-pickle-160x127.jpg 160w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/just-dennis-pickle-300x238.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/just-dennis-pickle-377x300.jpg 377w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-848\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">1964 annual Just Dennis the pickle<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Dennis the Menace started off as a daily syndicated newspaper comic strip originally created, written and illustrated by Hank Ketcham, but has since then has become a movie, book and cartoon feature.
