Dennis Mitchell

 This superactive young upstart has been “5 an’ a half” since he was first created in 1950. He’s too young for kindergarten and too old for the playpen. He’s active, agile, tireless and hard to catch. He’s also inquisitive, imaginative and of an experimental turn of mind, which frequently lands him in situations he can’t always control. With his impish grin, he delivers sometimes blunt observations of the truth. While never malicious or mean, the irrepressible Dennis remains a threat to property, the pomposity of adults and quiet afternoons. He’s an All-American handful and every day is “trick or treat” for almost anyone in sight.
