Dennis and Gnasher

Basically, I don't believe that everyone in the Beano was pleased with the new Dennis...

Have a look through the issues since the new Dennis arrived, both Laura Howell and Dave Eastbury drew their characters reading the Beano, but showed them reading a Beano with the old Dennis the Menace in the front....

Tom Paterson and Jimmy Hansen both risked adding the catapult into their stories, but in the end, Hansen's was just an April Fool joke...

Jimmy Hansen also risked changing Dennis back to his old, loved version.... He slowly began to move Den's mouth up to his eyes, plus for about 5 issues, he gave adults in the comic strip four fingers instead of three...

However Nigel Parkinson kept Dennis relatively the same, even keeping the lined teeth... Barrie Appleby also draws the Beano many times in his Roger the Dodger stories with the new Dennis on the front cover.... Now I could be wondering, maybe Barrie wants a turn at drawing Dennis and Gnasher as well...

I'll upload some pictures soon to go with this by the way...
