The October 1968 2024 Calendar for This Menacing Year

Yes, it's time for the Ineffectual October Calendar by Howard Chaykin, this time starring Sarah Palin and John Oates!

But that's no good to use as a calendar for this month, so here again is Dennis.

This month all month, let's celebrate Dennis committing his first knife crime!

The September 1968 2024 Calendar for This Menacing Year

Whatddaya mean, you haven't picked up that phone call yet? It's September, dude! Check the handy tiny calendar! And ya know what? It's useless for us this month!

Instead, check out America's only trademarked Menace™, Dennis, in a cartoon that has no captions but is obviously subtitled "I'd like a volunteer...oh sweet Jesus, not you, Dennis." Enjoy the li'l heckraiser all month long!

The August 1968 2024 Calendar for This Menacing Year

Come on, man! Time to answer your landline to participate in a Republican-backed phone poll that will be presented as representing 100% of the population of America instead of the sliver of percentage who answer blind calls and still have a telephone that won't fit in your pocket. Lookin' at you, Mom. Anyway, this little stuffed bull gives you the permission to ignore your phone all month.

Instead, why not cool off in August by divin' into the pool of a complete stranger as suggested by this real calendar you can use all thru this month of August 2024, huh? Wow, McGruff the Crime Dog can't get to Dennis's neighborhood fast enough.

Remember: don't pick up your phone! It might just be Ghostface.

(And oh yeah, PS: here's a calendar you can use if you're only gonna be around the last two weeks of August. Like, say, if you come out of a coma on the 18th or somethin'.)

Aw, that's no good! For one thing, you can't read the numbers. And also, who still uses a land line and answering machine these days? (Looks up at the panel) The Dutch, that's who!

Here's a real calendar you can use this month of July 2024, courtesy of Your Friendly Neighborhood Pre-Pubescent Menace:
