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!


from Spider-Man: Marvels Snapshots #1 (one-shot) (Marvel, December 2020); script, pencils, and inks by Howard Chaykin; colors by Jesus Aburtov; letters by Ken Bruzenak

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!


from Spider-Man: Marvels Snapshots #1 (one-shot) (Marvel, December 2020); script, pencils, and inks by Howard Chaykin; colors by Jesus Aburtov; letters by Ken Bruzenak

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:

Shoot off those firewworks if you got 'em, kids! Right into Mr. Wilson's house.

The June 1968 2024 Calendar for This Menacing Year

Dennis has the right idea on how to deal with a wedding in This Menacing Year: bring along a comic book!

The May 1968 2024 Calendar for This Menacing Year

I'm afraid to let you know that as the year goes on, it just keeps on getting even more menacing. By the beginning of November 2024 I will probably be announcing this blog to you over a megaphone as we're all paraded through teh streets on our way to re-education and attitude adjustment, and by the end of the year I promise I'll chisel it into any the rock that hasn't melted from the nuclear fire.

Naw, forget all that: I'm an optimistic bull, so for the moment let's look on the bright side of life. After all, look at America's favorite teen sixty-five years running: Superboy! He's certainly going to have a great May, including May the 4th (looks at calendar), uh, maybe not that day. Well, by the 31st he will probably have had a great month and OH CUT THAT OUT CALENDAR.

Speaking of cutting-out: you can cut that cover of Giant Superboy #165 and hang it on your wall to use as a calendar for May 2024, or, if you like your comic book heroes smaller, younger, and loving root beer, there's no other option than to use this 1968 Dennis the Menace calendar, which works perfectly for 2024! Whoda thunkit?

Dennis, you scamp! That's as delightful as it was the day you did that to Charles Xavier and Niles Caulder!

The April 1968 2024 Calendar for This Menacing Year

Hey, it's calendar time! An' that's no April Fool! Mainly because...yes, I have a calendar for you.

But who woulda thunk it came from the corner of a WWII-era Batman comic?


from "The Mayors of Yonville!" in Batman (1940 series) #24 (DC/Detective Comics, August 1944), script by Don C. Cameron, pencils and inks by Dick Sprang, letters by George Roussos

Hey, down in front you guys! Eh, they're not gonna move; they're all long dead.

Instead, have a Dennis the Menace calendar that perfect for April 2023 in all aspects except one. Can you guess what's off about this 1968 calendar if you wanna clip it out and paste it up on your wall this month?

*Ouch.

That's correct: never feed eggs to a rabbit, Joey. They are herbivores.

The March 1968 2024 Calendar for This Menacing Year

I love Spring. It's my favorite season of the year, especially when the ground starts to thaw and you can smell the earth, and the warmer winds whip at your jacket and make you believe you could fly like Ororo Munroe, if only you had a bigger jacket.

This year March comes in like a lion and goes out like a ham (Easter, that is), and my best pal John's birthday is on that last day, too. Another excellent month!

The February 1968 2024 Calendar for This Menacing Year

Geez, Margaret, it's the thought that counts! Maybe this 1968 calendar that you can actually use this entire frosty month of 2024 will sooth your Dennis-aggravated nerves!
