Dennis the Menace: Volume 1, by Hank Ketcham
Reviewed by Betelgeuse

This has been my fourth time reading this, yet I do not grow tired of Dennis the Menace. His spunky, brave, and rarely obedient charisma intermingles with his cute, innocent side, making a character that everybody loves. Even those hard-hearted ones will soften like butter on a summer day when they see his impish grin. I mean, who doesn't love comics? This book focuses on Dennis throughout the months, and each comic (which is one panel per page) has to do with a different topic. They vary from Dennis painting his father's expensive leather shoes black with paint, to him giving a girl his mother's engagement ring. These will have you bursting with laughter, inside andout. Hats off to Mr. Ketcham, who died in 2001 at nine-one years old.
