* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: It's often assumed by the media that Dennis is no longer whacked with a slipper at the end of each strip because it wasn't [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad politically correct]]. In truth, the practice of slippering had already become old hat by the time it was axed in the comic, and getting rid of it allowed for less predictable endings.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Walter's girlfriend Matilda was created to dispel MoralGuardian rumours that Walter was gay and Dennis was homophobic.

It doesn't even get a mention in the 70th Anniversary book, ''History of the Beano'' or Ray Moore's ''Beano Diaries''.
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in the case of Beano Diaries, as it was published in 1989.

* UnCanceled: The second animated series [[http://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/dennis-and-gnasher-goes-back-into-production/ returned mid-2013 to coincide with the 75th anniversary of The Beano]]. It started on July 8th 2013, but as with the comics, Mum and Dad were redesigned. The cast changed as well, with Dennis having a new voice actor. Basically, it wasn't a second season after all, but rather, a {{reboot}}.
