Scarred by recent events, perhaps, Dennis the Menace is exposing his young friends to the same sort of sexual abuse he has heaped upon older members of his comic's cast.
Our retinas are still scarred by this recent sight: A cavalier Dennis walking in on neighbor Mr. Wilson in the bathtub, a shocking display when one considers that Mr. Wilson never meant for this to happen even though Dennis does!
Now this scamp is ushering his young friends in to the family bathroom so they can take a good look at a naked adult male. Just like Mr. Wilson in the above-mentioned comic, Henry Mitchell wants nothing to do with children while he's taking a shower. But Dennis, clearly working out some sociopathic tendencies, doesn't care.
The looks on Margaret's and Gina's faces say it all. Here are kids learning too much too soon - and Dennis is the cause.
Clearly, Dennis needs to be locked up in a facility and then remanded to adult prison once he turns 18. This is a predator, not a child, and he should no longer be treated (or drawn) with kid gloves.
