Transcript:
Mom: I hear Dennis the Menace set fire to your house... sounds like your new 'family strip' idea's going great. Pastis: Listen, Mom... I had a nice talk with the young man and I told him he needed to act much, much better. Dennis: Repent, for the end is near. Mom: Maybe too much. Pastis: Hey, Dennis. Go back to burning down my house. Dennis: Here... let me leave you with some literature.

Where are cartoon-Pastis and cartoon-Mama Pastis today, if not at the home studio? Dennis is bad enough when he’s normal; when he’s in an “End Is Near” cult, he’s worse! P.S. Mama Pastis, your roots need re-touching!

Now I look at it, this is exactly the kind of kid this incarnation of Dennis looks like.

Actually, the end WAS near — he walked right out of the last panel.Cartoon lives have a beginning and an end every day. Do you think they stay in character between scenes?Maybe they all hang out at a toon bar and talk about US.

Religious wackos are currently busy burning down the entire country. Please be patient, they’ll destroy your house and business just as soon as they can.

Well, I home the house burns before the end comes/ I wouldn’t want to miss it.

Great. Instead of being a little monster, now he’s handing out literature for some religious fantasy camp.

Nighthawks Premium Member almost 13 years ago
no cults, I think.looks to me that Dennis is a Jehovah’s Witness…….hammering on doors on Saturday morning and pushing their literature into your face

“Repent, For The End Is Near?” That Sounds like more of a threat than actually burning down the house. It sounds like something Samuel L. Jackson would say just before he blows you away.

Shouldn’t that second panel have been drawn in a “circle”?

I just realized, Dennis talks in bubbles like all the other characters.It’s the Family Circus kids that talk under the panels
