Dennis the Menace

Today is a very special day. The world’s oldest five-year old turns, well, five again. What makes it so special is that he has done it for the past 50 years. Who is this person you ask? He is someone we are all familiar with, as he has graced the pages of our comics for every day for those same 50 years. Today’s FamSite looks at this most interesting young man.

The site is called the Hank Ketcham Gallery. It is a site that is home to the creator of Dennis the Menace, who is celebrating his 50th birthday on March 12th. His adventures have been chronicled in the papers, on television and in the movies. But at this site you not only find out about Dennis, but about his creator Hank Ketcham. Here you learn about some of his other interests, such as jazz artists and pioneer cartoonists. He has turned those interests into paintings that you can both view and purchase at this site.

So stop by for a piece of birthday cake, and help Dennis blow out the candles. After all, it isn’t every day someone turns five again. Enjoy your visit here today, and be sure to share this site with a friend.
