Does Dennis belong to the AGVA? How is the insurance? How is he paid? Peanuts? His wardrobe leaves much to be admired.

I am cut to the quick. These pictures came from a comic book the "Dennis" people did when we were on the Polack Show.
It seems to have gotten a "Ho, Hum" reception. Well, you win some and lose some.

The cartoon just seems to fit the way things are today. Your timing is just a little off. You will never lose anything Buckles. Just misplace things sometimes. Just like the rest of us.

Hank Ketcham, who did the Dennis strip was a wonderful gentleman. Here on the Central Coast of CA he used the $$ from the strip to preserve bits and pieces of local history that the Powers That Be were ignoring, and he created Dennis The Menace Park in Monterey -- probably the most dangerous playground you can imagine. Kids of all ages climbing on a full sized steam locomotive. Trolleys that wisk kids across the playground hanging on for dear life while 15 feet off the ground. It's a magical place and entirely incorrect in an era when we over engineer for safety.

If the woman had red hair I would have made the connection. She also needed a head piece. You did not have a beard either. I am so sorry I hurt your feels.

Wow, Ed Sullivan Show and Dennis , I can't believe an old shit shoveler like me was able to experience a few years with you Buckles! Thanks for the memories! My wife and kids love seeing old stories they think I made up! Always, Gary

Dennis is lucky he never joined AGVA--you know, the American Guild of Vanished Agents...
