  "textContent": "If you're from the UK and/or the USA then you are fully aware of a comic character that goes by the name of Dennis The Menace.\n\nIn the UK he stars, alongside his dog Gnasher, in The Beano and I was in his fan club.\n\n> Dennis the Menace and Gnasher (previously titled Dennis the Menace and Dennis and Gnasher) is a long-running comic strip in the children's comic The Beano, published by DC Thomson, of Dundee in Scotland. The comic stars a boy named Dennis the Menace and his dog, an \"Abyssinian wire-haired tripe hound\" named Gnasher.\n\nOver the pond there was a different Dennis The Menace, he didn't even have a fan club.\n\n\n> Dennis the Menace is a daily syndicated newspaper comic strip originally created, written, and illustrated by Hank Ketcham.\n\nAll terribly cool but the best part is that both characters were introduced to the world on EXACTLY THE SAME DAY, total coincidence! Both were published on **March 12 1951**.\n\n\n\n\n(subscribe/RSS)",
