This iconic screen print of Dennis the Menace, the star of The Beano comic, first appeared in 1951. He has since become a kind of national mascot
One glimpse of his red-and-white jersey – actually a football top – or his unruly hair immediately brings the lovable scamp to mind.

In the early 1960s, he was joined by his Abyssinian wire-haired tripe hound, Gnasher. Gnasher seems to be made of the same kind of thing as Dennis the Menace’s hair – the untamed explosion of black hair symbolic of the chaos they embody.
