Is A Menace A Bully?

I watched Dennis the Menace and Gnasher on CBBC out of curiosity the other day.

                                                     

The children’s series is about Dennis who’s a mischievous little boy; he likes to play tricks on his family and friends with his dog named Gnasher; together they are truly menacing to everyone they meet.

When I was just a child my mum used to buy three comics to keep us occupied the Dandy, Twinkle and Beano.

Remembering Dennis the Menace in the Beano, I was intrigued to see if the animation in the children’s series captured him correctly; in my opinion the style is similar to that of the comic.

However Dennis’s voice surprised me, I thought it would have been deeper, also he’s turned into a rock dude I assume as rock music is heard throughout the programme.

My favourite character is Gnasher he’s got the same hair style as Dennis, it reminds me of a lady I know she styles her hair in the same way as her poodles, unless it’s the other way round!

My final thought: Can you distinguish between a menace and a bully?

In other words should we call bullies, menaces instead?

What's your views tell me what you think?
