Dennis the Menace and Joey

A lighthearted spin-off from the main Dennis the Menace newspaper strip, this single 1969 issue from Halden/Fawcett shifted the focus to the irrepressible Joey, Dennis’s toddler neighbor. Written by Fred Toole with art by Owen Fitzgerald, it offered a brief, standalone glimpse into the slapstick chaos of a very young menace. Though short-lived, it stands as a curious footnote in the larger Dennis universe, capturing a moment when the franchise briefly experimented with expanding its cast beyond its star.
