“Dennis the Menace and Gnasher” (currently titled “Dennis and Gnasher”) is a long-running comic strip in the British children's comic “The Beano,” published by DC Thomson, of Dundee, Scotland. The comic stars a boy named Dennis the Menace and his Abyssinian wire-haired tripe hound Gnasher. The strip first appeared in issue 452, dated 17 March 1951, and is the longest-running strip in the comic. From September 1974, Dennis the Menace replaced Biffo the Bear on the front cover, and has been there ever since. Coincidentally, in 1951, Hank Ketcham’s comic strip “Dennis the Menace” debuted in the US. As a result of this, the US series has initially been retitled “Dennis” for UK audiences, while the British character's appearances are often titled “Dennis and Gnasher” outside the UK.
