^Cookie JarINSIDE STORIES OF DENNISMYSTERY PLANE

The Information Director of an airplane

manufacturing firm in Wichita, Kansas,

noticed, in the cartoon on the right, the

drawing of an airplane over Dennis' bed.

The airplane looked very much like the

business jet plane made by his company,and he wondered how come?

The answer was—Mr. Ketcham knows the

designer of this particular airplane, who is

the president of this company. He has flown

with him many times in this type of plane,

and thought he would have a bit of fun byshowing it in a Dennis cartoon.

PEN PALS

We have been running coupons by whichyou, if you are over 14, can get pen pals in

interesting foreign countries, through the

Letter Exchange of the People-To-People

Program, Kansas City, Mo. Here is one re-

sponse from a girl in East Chicago, Ind. :

—

"This letter is in appreciation for the two

pen pals that you sent me. When I sent you

the coupon from 'Dennis the Menace' I did

not realize what a valuable deal I was get-

ting into.

"After corresponding for four months, mypen pals and I believe that we have becomeeternal friends. We even hope to meet someday.

"One is a 19 year old Argentine and the

other a 15 year old Negro African. It makesme feel so proud and so happy that I have

friends in those foreign lands. Thank you.

I hope you keep up the good work."

CHILDREN'S DOCTOR

A Los Angeles pediatrician, who also

teaches pediatrics in a hospital there, uses

cartoons of Dennis to teach other children's

doctors. He finds in Dennis cartoons typical

family situations involving the care and

treatment of children. He has made them

into slides which he projects to illustrate

his lectures.

Recently, at a meeting, another children's

doctor—a perfect stranger to him—walked

up to him and greeted him warmly. In aloud voice, so that everybody could hear, he

said : "Any friend of Dennis is a friend of

mine!"

Our doctor was mystified until the other

explained that he had attended one of his

Dennis-illustrated lectures one year before

"Gentlemen

:

"Thank you very much for sending copies

of 'Dennis the Menace' Book #85. We cer-

tainly do appreciate the fine plug for the

Pet Patrol, and in fact, have orderedenough copies for distribution to all Pet

Patrol radio stations.

"Dennis' continuing assistance in the field

of animal welfare, such as during Be KindTo Animals Week, is sincerely appreciated

and, I suspect, much more widely and thor-

oughly read than much of the editorial copywhich appears."

OFF THE COUCH

A boy in Jamaica, N. Y, writes about our

Fawcett paperback book collections of Den-nis cartoons :

—

"I have read five or six of your Dennisbooks. I have found them extremely enjoy-

able. I once fell off the couch I was laugh-

ing so hard

!

"I especially enjoyed the 'Baby Sitter's

Guide.' I have seen many baby sitters

di-iven to nervous breakdowns by manyDennis'es. I know how Dennis feels in his

corner. I also know how his sitter feels.

And his parents. And the Wilsons. But I

enjoy him anyway. In fact, I love him!

'Thank you for all your books. You've

helped make a much happier U.S.A., may-be even the world, for 1

SUNDAY SCHOOL

We have this nice letter from a lady in

Memphis, Tenn.

"I'm sure you have received countless let-

ters complimenting and praising yourwork, and your work is certainly praise-

worthy. However, I doubt if any of these

mention having been enlightened and in-

spired in a particular way by any of them.

Usually we would not expect such from a

comic strip. But such was my case with one

of your strips.

"It was a Sunday comic about five or six

years ago. Dennis took his Dad out in the

yard and showed him a rainbow. Somehowreading that strip that Sunday morningwas really a 'lifter'. After that, I used it as

a basis for a devotional in a Sunday School

class meeting, which I called 'There's a

Rainbow in Every Cloud.'"

AND SO DENNIS SAYS-
