Okay, peeps, here's what you've been waiting for - even more captivating covers from the DENNIS The MENACE Books for you to salivate and sigh over, while you try to contain your envy that they're mine and not yours. (Whaddya mean, you've all got a set? And in much better condition? Rats! Can't a guy revel in the joy of his possessions without you spoiling it for him? Ah, well!)
As you'll know, where the back cover is the exact same as the front, I haven't bothered showing it - no point, is there? Anyway, as your own copies are doubtless stored in burglar-proof, air-tight safes, I'll let you cop a gander at mine - just to remind you what they look like.
Be sure to return for Part Three - or GNASHER will come 'round to your house and bite you on the bum!

I didn't know any better at the time - not having heard the name spoken aloud - but to this day I still sound out the 'G' in Gnasher - Gnnnasher. He was such a strange, ugly wee brute when he came along that the unusual pronunciation seemed to suit him. Even when we learned it was silent, my friends and I continued to say it with a wink and a nod.
I probably did the same, GB. I think it sounds funnier to pronounce the 'G'. I also sometimes say 'orgy' with a hard 'g' for the same reason.
You often have occasion to be talking about orgies, Kid?
Well, if there's one on, I don't mind helping out if their short-handed. (He joked.)
We actually have a CAT who resembles Gnasher! Although her temperament is more like Minnie the Minx!
Looks like Gnasher? Time you gave its fur a brush, JP.
