Dennis the Menace

Dennis the Menace is a syndicated newspaper comic strip, created by Hank Ketcham in 1951. The strip focuses on the misadventures of innocently destructive Dennis Mitchell, whose most frequent victim is cranky neigbor Mr. Wilson. The comic spawned a live-action television sitcom which ran from 1959 until 1963, two seperate animated series adaptations, a 1993 theatrical film starring Walter Matthau as Mr. Wilson, and various video sequels.

In Muppets Tonight episode 207, the opening gag features guest star Dennis Quaid costumed as Dennis the Menace. Quaid complains that due to a satellite hook-up failure, he nearly put Mr. Wilson's eye out with his slingshot.
