A set of 10 stamps celebrating 70 years of Beano bad boy Dennis the Menace has been issued by the Royal Mail.
Six of them look back at the evolution of the comic book character from his black-and-white days in 1951 to the arrival of his pet dog Gnasher.
Another four stamps have been illustrated by the current cartoonist to celebrate the 70th anniversary.
Natasha Ayivor, from the Royal Mail, said Dennis had entertained generations with his "mischief and mayhem".
Current artist Nigel Parkinson said he had always wanted to work for the Beano and pestered bosses to draw Dennis before he landed his "big gig" depicting the perennial naughty schoolboy in 1999.
Ah yes, good old Dennis the Menace . I remember I quite liked the character when I was a kid (I guess because I liked how mischievous he was, and because his hair and clothing were so distinctive )
Was anybody else here a fan of him and his antics?
