# Ha ha!
I was thinking it needed something else... a certain something... and you've added it, thanks!

he already had the hair.
It's weirdly difficult to find pictures of Walter the Softie, have the Beano tried to erase their homophobic past?

# I do find it an interesting record of social history
how comics were full of "playful scamps" that all kids wanted to be like, which today would be regarded as little shits who should have asbos at the very least for breaking windows, stealing things, homophobic bullying and the like. (hence my picture yesterday)

# And the slippers they'd get, don't forget those.
I tried finding images of slippers - i.e. Dennis getting a smack for being naughty - but nothing, maybe due to it being unacceptable today.

Your picture was a piece of class though and a good point well made!

# There is a picture of Beryl the Peril being slippered
by her dad in Google image search. Which sounds really creepy when I write it.

# It does!
I remember my sister had a Dennis the Menace board game where you had to avoid the slipper... different times I guess!

# I just looked at that
The thing that got me was the bit about Walter having a strange resemblance to Cuthbert Cringeworthy
- not really, they are strips in the same comic, written by the same people, who needed a 'victim' that noboday would like...
