Since when did Dennis the Menace have a pet pig?
Keeping in mind that I haven't read it since the 1970s.

Since the 1980s

"Rasher", if memory serves
My kids like watching the cartoon...since when was Walter a mean, spiteful little shit? He was always a softy, and Dennis' mortal enemy, but he was never nasty, was he?

I suppose they have to justify Dennis's merciless bullying of him some other way now

They should do a DtM strip set ten or fifteen years in the future.
Walter has, after years of therapy, finally overcome the relentless bullying he suffered as a child and now runs a successful florists' business with his partner Berty Blenkinsop (they plan to marry in the summer).

Meanwhile Dennis is a smackhead/in prison/dead.

He's not allowed to be a 'softy' any more in case the gays get upset

ancient Greeks weren't gay,
they just liked bumming boys.

It ain't gay if you're the guy.

Since shortly after pigs were first domesticated, you ancient biddy.

pigs are for eating, not for petting

never mind that,
despite struggling with "hard sums" at school he nevertheless managed to build a high-tech armed sports car in his dad's shed.

Anyone would think it was a strip in a children's comic rather than a hard-hitting work of gritty social realism.

even children need to be able to suspend their disbelief,
I mean Rodger the Dodger flying around like a helicopter just by swinging his belt around above his head is one thing, spontaneous feats of mechanical engineering are quite another.

I bet you wrote in letters complaining about the fact that his dogs could talk.
