There are also many, many other nicely captured characters. Personally, I liked Dennis best when we saw more of his world (barbers, hobo's, rich ladies) which allowed Ketcham to use his awsome powers of observation and caricature. When he started depending on outside writers, he was less motivated by the drawing and more by the limited cast of characters and it because quite bland and repetitive for me. That's when the Sundays and comic books seemed to overtake the strip in popularity.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-16900000110916004252013-09-16T18:46:54.095-07:002013-09-16T18:46:54.095-07:00True.

He got the job after seeing a TV interview with Ketcham, who said he was actively looking for a successor. <br /><br />That "Discipline" cartoon looks like an early version of Dennis.rnigmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370724366178429029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-68094075412383702732013-09-16T16:55:57.365-07:002013-09-16T16:55:57.365-07:00These materials were done by Hank Ketcham, before ...These materials were done by Hank Ketcham, before creating <i>Dennis The Menace</i> in 1951. <br />Nowadays, <i>Dennis The Menace</i> (after the Hank Ketcham's death in 2001) is produced by the two Hank Ketcham's ex-assistants: Marcus Hamilton (in the daily strips) and Ron Ferdinand (in the Sunday pages).rodineisilveirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751345474415214163noreply@blogger.com
