THIS DAY IN HISTORY MAR. 12

      On March 12, 1951 the comic strip, "Dennis the Menace", appeared for the first time in 16 newspapers across the U.S.  “Mr. Wiiiiillllssssson!” was a familiar cry as the strip became an international favorite in thousands of newspapers and spawned a CBS-TV program that starred Jay North as Dennis, the annoying boy with the unruly cowlick.. The series lasted for several seasons and is still seen in syndicated re-runs. A somewhat popular movie starring Walter Matthau as Mr. Wilson and Christopher Lloyd as the bad guy was released in 1993.
