Ya gotta love his totally fake cowlick, to try make him look like the comic strip.
And BTW… As some of you no doubt already know, there’s a totally different Dennis the Menace in the UK (and probably Ireland)…. I think it’s still part of Beano.
You can base various bar bets and trivia questions on asking which came first. Some people are quite adamant, not to say arrogant, about knowing the answer, one way or the other.
The truth is that…
They coincidentally came out on the very same day, in 1951. That’s one reason neither has ever sued the other or changed its name, except for sales across the pond.
The US one is just “Dennis” in the UK; the UK one is “Dennis and Gnasher” in North America.
Must be those healthy cigarettes… maybe one of the brands “doctors” recommended in old magazine ads.
Most tennis courts had rules prohibiting clothing that wasn’t white, and any type of bathing suits.
Maybe this court is part of a swim club or gym of some sort.
If this is the 1930s, as labeled, it’s quite early, perhaps 1931 or 32. Short hair, skimpy, dark-colored bathing suits… smoking…
All still a bit shocking.
The women are posing to great effect, and I’m sure they know it.
I don’t know where they got their data, but this is outdated and pretty inaccurate.
You can still find lists with these short dates, but even the USDA, concerned about food waste, has a web site pushing back against it…. And practical experience tells me much of it is nonsense.
There’s a big difference between quality and safety, and a lot depends on how things are stored. They don’t mention refrigeration or freezing.
Bread lasts till it gets stale or moldy. Some kinds of brands last longer than others, and it keeps for months in the freezer.
When the oldest of us were children, chickens were allowed outside, and their feed was natural. In winter they laid fewer eggs, with pale yolks. Supermarkets sold “storage eggs”… summer eggs, refrigerated till winter.
Why would dry pasta spoil?
Some friends bought a 50 pound bag of white rice and ate it for a couple of years.
Whole grain products do get rancid… whole wheat flour, pasta, brown rice. But it takes a long time.
Sharp cheese is aged for years. Most unopened packaged cheese will keep for months in the refrigerator.
When I was very new to cooking, I bought a big box of dry beans in a thrift shop… They were selling them for bean bag filling. My then boyfriend and I cooked and ate them for months. A few years later, when I got into collectibles, I realized that the label was from the 1920s or 30s.
Maybe they had lost a little something… I didn’t notice.
I’m still here.

Well, that ought to give you something to chew on for a while.

Wait .. .. how many ears does this sleeping hound possess?
And, BTW, pleasant dreams.

Not gonna claim that I remembered it….

Not even close…
I love that movie.

Okay….
Around 1960.
AFAIK, she’s not all that well remembered, but it seemed rude not to give her a spoiler box.

i was terrified by the scary guy on the train from O’hare to Chicago till I saw he was wearing a “Guardian Angels ” jacket…

Most last much longer – but oil gets rancid.
He, it’s odd that they single out oil as indefinite, yet it spoils, while they say other things spoil long before they do.

Actually, it jumped right out at me. Good thing I have the reflexes and agility of a Jedi.
