Today in Comics History, May 5, Cinco de Mayo: ¡Ese Dennis ciertamente es una amenaza!

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, here's some Mexican adventures of Dennis the Menace! Or, as Mexican comic books call him, Daniel el travieso!


Anyway, the Mitchells, fleeing government agents for what Dennis did to the White House bathroom, have crossed the border and are now in the Mexico that isn't New Mexico...Mexico!



from Dennis the Menace Giant #8 [Dennis the Menace in Mexico] (Hallden/Fawcett, Winter 1962), script by Fred Toole, pencils and inks by Al Wiseman

Next to Carl Barks, I consider Al Wiseman to be one of the finest draftsman of architecture in humor comics!



Do not fight bulls, Dennis! Be their pal instead!



And now, the bullfight commences! Not shown: the bull sharpening his pointy, pointy horns.



¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo, Daniel, Dennis, whatever your name is!
