'''''Dennis the Menace''''' is a long-running [[Newspaper Comics|newspaper comic]] created by Hank Ketcham that first appeared in March 1951. It features the adventures of mischievous blond boy Dennis Mitchell, often at the expense of his parents or of his neighbor, Mr. Wilson.
 
It has inspired [[Dennis the Menace (TV series)|a live-action series]], [[Dennis the Menace (animation)|an animated Saturday Morning Series]], and [[Dennis the Menace (film)|a live-action film]].
Line 10:
In Britain, the Cartoon and Film based on the Comic Book is simply called ''Dennis!'' due to the character mentioned below.
 
(Not to be confused with the British comic book character [[Name's the Same|also called]] [[Dennis the Menace (UK comic strip)|Dennis the Menace]], which is a completely different and unrelated strip which also coincidentally debuted in March of 1951.)

* [[Menace Decay]]
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[The All-American Boy]]: Despite the name, Dennis is a pretty good example of this trope.
* [[Animal Athlete Loophole]]: There ain't no rule that says a dog can't play football! There is, however, a rule that says plays cannot be made with a player's ''mouth'', so sadly Ruff is disqualified.
Line 46 ⟶ 48:
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Gina and Margaret.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Without a doubt, pizza ... to the point where (he thinks) he practically can live on it. On the exact opposite of the spectrum: vegetables, especially when they were served as part of a meal that had no pizza in sight. Especially carrots at any time.
* [[Uncle Tomfoolery]] / [[Ethnic Scrappy]]: An African-American kid named Jackson.
