Dennis the Menace (UK comic strip): Difference between revisions

* [[Cool Old Lady]]: Granny, who is just a mischievous as her grandson, much to the dismay of her son and daughter-in-law.

* [[Crappy Carnival]]: In the animated series, Dennis visits a fair where all of the rides have been nerfed because of the havoc Dennis and his cronies wreaked the previous year.

* [[Crossover]]: one episode of the animated series had Dennis enter a contest on ''[[Blue Peter]]'', complete with the animated presenters being voiced by the actual ([[Long Runners|at the time]]) presenters of the show.

* [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome]]: Walter in the new animated series.

** Sometimes slipped into it in the old ones too, but it wasn't as noticeable.

* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]: Sugar wears [[Cool Shades]] that she never puts over her eyes.

* [[Gray and Grey Morality]]: Walter was already a bit of a jerk at the beginning, but ever since the cartoon (or earlier) he's arguably become just as bad as Dennis.

* [[Great White Hunter]]: Dennis' neighbour [[Meaningful Name|Stanley Livingston]] is a subversion, having the look of the trope but actually being very friendly with jungle animals and filling his house with them - a sort of proto-Steve Irwin.

* [[A Pirate 400 Years Too Late]]: One episode of the cartoon has a group of actors turn out to be real pirates.

* [[Power Trio]]: It depends on the period, but the Menaces and Softies are often seen in groups of three: Dennis, Curly and Pie-face for the Menaces and Walter, Bertie Blenkinsop and Spotty Perkins for the Softies. The Softies were sometimes expanded to four with the addition of [[Punny Name|Nervous Rex]].

* [[Proper Tights With a Skirt]]: Athena Kane

* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: Dennis' other neighbour The Colonel.
