*FairForItsDay: Although Little Plum has aged poorly, it did have a story where Cheify was supposed to represent Christopher Columbus, and Little Plum himself pointed out Columbus didn't discover America, because he himself was already there.

** Little Plum would definitely not fly today, as he embodies almost every stereotype of Native Americans. Also overlaps with the cultural kind of ValuesDissonance, as he continued to appear in The2000s and early [[TheNewTens 2010s]], likely due to Native Americans having little to no presence as a minority in Great Britain.

** Lord Snooty became a slanderous nickname for a middle-to-upper-class person trying to relate to poorer people, and failing. Ironically, Snooty himself didn't befriend the children as Ash Can alley for a PR stunt, but because he could be himself outside of his royal duties and envied their lack of responsibility. It makes one wonder if the inventor(s) of the nickname understood the source material...

** Lord Snooty's series became boring to new readers was discontinued because it was a relic of an unrelatable, long-dead era where upper-class schoolboys wore top hats to class. Newspapers wrote ShutUpHannibal-like articles about how it was a big mistake and that the long-celebrated editor-in-chief Euan Kerr had gone too far.

** The typical climax to many strips would involve a child doing something naughty and being given, as some stories put it, 'six of the best' - in other words, being bent across Dad's knee and whacked on the bum with a large slipper. It can be pretty surprising to a younger reader (ie. a reader not old enough to remember the time when smacking wasn't controversial) to realize that not only was that considered a moralistic plot element, ''you were supposed to laugh''. Of course, recent comics don't do that.

** This is why Walter the Softie has [[TookALevelInJerkass been more and more jerk-ish]] as of late -- in the comics, at least beginning in the 70s, Walter often was doing nothing inherently wrong except for doing activities and behaving in a stereotypically feminine way (this was {{Flanderization}} from his 1950s/60s depiction, which had Walter more willing to counter Dennis by underhanded means and was generally more of a jerk). Now, he's more of a SpoiledBrat nerd who quite often will antagonize Dennis just for the sake of it -- the Walter of today is more a [[StopHavingFunGuys kid who wants everyone else to stop having fun and be a grownup already]], which is why Dennis hates him so much. Dennis also can't just beat him up anymore either, [[https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jul/20/beano-75-year-anniversary partially because of the editors thinking]] it wasn't good story-wise to end stories with Walter being beaten all the time.
