GOODBYE, DENNIS!

 RIP JAY NORTH (1951-2025)

An important part of my childhood has passed on! Jay North was the star of TV's DENNIS THE MENACE show. We were both the same age and I followed Dennis antics closely, identifying with him in many forms.  Sorry to see you go, Jay! You made my childhood brighter!


Jay North, who played Dennis Mitchell in the original 1959 “Dennis the Menace” TV series, died Sunday after a battle with cancer, his long-time friend Laurie Jacobson confirmed in a social media post. He was 73.

“Dennis the Menace,” based on Hank Ketcham’s comic strip of the same name, ran for 146 episodes across four seasons. The show followed North’s Dennis “the menace” Mitchell, a young troublemaker who terrorizes his aging neighbor Mr. George Wilson (Joseph Kearns) through a never-ending series of mischievous deeds. Other cast members include Herbert Anderson, Gloria Henry, Billy Booth, Sylvia Field and Gale Gordon.

SEAN CONNERY as James Bond.

 Sean Connery would've been 94 years old today. Born in August 25th, 1930, he passed away on 0ctober 31, 2020. I've always been a big fan of all his movies but I choose to remember him today as James Bond 007, one of his most famous roles!

HENRY MANCINI



                            30 years ago, we lost Henry Mancini. (April 16, 1924 – June 14, 1994)

                                                     Gone but his music will live on forever! 






My connection with Mancini is by way of the Pink Panther. I spent almost 18 years writing and drawing
THE PINK PANTHER comics for the Spanish speaking market at Novaro Publishers by permission from Western Publishing Co. and DePatie-Freleng.
