"Before achieving worldwide fame as one of the 20th century's top syndicated cartoonists. Dennis the Menace creator Henry "Hank" Ketcham spent eight formative years (1942-50) in commercial advertising and as a gag cartoonist for major magazines such as Collier's, The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, and the New Yorker. Where's Dennis? traces the development of Ketcham's unique visual humor and unerring line, as well as the genesis of a certain endearing troublemaker.  Collected for the first time in a single volume, these long-forgotten cartoons provide a fascinating early glimpse of the wit and artistry that has made Hank Ketcham's Dennis the Menace one of America's most beloved comic strips for more than a century."--publisher's blurb.
