    Comics' Dennis Made to Be Nicer Due to Rising Anti-Bullying Sentiments

    ChildrensBBC animated TV series' new-look Dennis "is attracting rave reviews....The 'Menace' bit has been dropped: apparently it frightens modern parents. He no longer bullies"

    "there is something about his evolution which provides a wonderful commentary on changing attitudes. It is first-class assembly material for lessons on diversity and difference....Dennis no longer equipped with his notorious peashooter....He also has some new pals: girls, no less" including one who "zips around in a wheelchair."

    :Frown Another part of my childhood bites the dust.
    I used to get the Beano comic every week without fail.

    The US Dennis the Menace lost his menace status years before as we already had a Dennis the Menace.

    What about the Bash Street Kids, will Smiffy do something right at last?

    You must be younger than me. The Beano came out one week and the Dandy the following week. But that was during the war. We couldn't get them as they could only print a certain number. I had Comic Cuts, but always longed for the others.
