Hank “Dennis The Menace’ Ketcham’s Dirty Drawings

Happy birthday to Hank Ketcham (1920-2001)! The clean cartoonist of Dennis the Menace is featured in my upcoming book “Clean Cartoonists’ Dirty Drawings.” Below are some of the dirty drawings by Ketchum that will be there. And there’s some blog bonuses here-cartoons that didn’t fit in the book for space reasons.

I’ve found many very unusual photos to accompany the bios in “Clean Cartoonsts’ Dirty Drawings.” Here’s Ketcham and Tricky Dick. But now let’s get to Hank’s sexy stuff…

Ketcham sent the following drawing to Charles Schulz for fun. Apparently Schulz wasn’t amused, he didn’t reply to Ketcham.

BTW, here’s a Dennis The Menace statue that YOE! Studio created for Dark Horse…

    [...] Dennis the Menace creator Hank Ketcham’s dirty drawings. [...]

  2. Mike Lynch Says:

    The implication of the photo is, at first, that Hank Ketcham is handing off some naughty drawings to Dick Nixon!

    Thanks for this!!!!!!

  3. Craig Yoe Says:
