The Far Menace: Newspaper unwittingly switched captions for ‘The Far Side’ and ‘Dennis the Menace’







In 1983, The Dayton Daily News had a minor mishap when the paste-up artist accidentally switched the captions for Gary Larson’s The Far Side and Hank Ketcham’s Dennis the Menace. Not only did they do this once, they did it twice!

I can only only imagine how perplexed daily readers of the Dennis the Menace strip were when they read that gem of a caption. Dennis the Menace gettin’ all dark and creepy.

In my opinion, it was a vast improvement!
