Dennis the Menace – that sweet little boy who is able to cause chaos.
Mine is Maxine – an older lady with a sharp tongue. I don’t think she appeals to everyone however I certainly enjoy her point of view http://online.hallmark.com/maxine/about/
oh DENNIS! LOLOL! i had forgotten how terrible he is! and i have always liked Maxine! with her bunny slippers and big shades! but my favorite i think is calvin and hobbes. tammy j recently posted..moving on old bean
Had I been asked to list three favourites in the order of priority, Calvin and Maxine would have followed Dennis. For the reason that I have had quite a few Dennises in my life but nary a one Calvin or Maxine.
The old man in the strip is Mr. Wilson who is a neighbour. Mrs. Wilson encourages Dennis to visit them but Mr.W dislikes him but Dennis rolls along without worrying too much about it. I have had too many Dennises in my life to ever want to be Dennis but I would not like to be Mr. W either. Unfortunately, all my Dennises have grown up to be very smart and responsible young men! I guess that I should be by elimination Dennis’s father Henry Mitchell.
Years ago Andy and I liked Dennis the Menace, and when we lived in France for a year we bought some of his comic books in French. We thought it might be an easy way to pick up more of the language, but it was a big mistake. They used too many colloquial terms and they were impossible to decipher. Who would have guessed?

I like Maxine too. Particularly her quips on older people.
I did not see that one coming – I do not recall ever hearing you mention him. Good choice!
Thank you. The next one in line would be Calvin and Hobbes!

What is your role in that? Dennis or his grandpa?

I haven’t seen a Dennis cartoon for years. Thanks for bringing him back!
Entirely my pleasure SLF!
My favorite is Koko in The Other Coast.

Yes, I have seen you post strips with Koko in them in your blog. Quite subtle at times and very funny indeed.
Haha. Throw pillows: I can imagine a child getting caught on that one. Thanks for the chuckles.
My top choice in that lot would be “You must be part fish. My dad says you’re a real catch”!

I had to research for that and am not surprised at your choice. I wish that I could have read them when they were being published.
