[edit] Dennis's Father?
He's called Dennis's Dad not dennis's father, same with Dennis's Mum. Borb 19:37, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. It was probably a hangover from the days when all the characters each had their own article (sometimes multiple articles), and that's the title someone put Dennis' Dad in. I've now corrected it, though, next time, feel free to make the change yourself! BillyH 20:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sources
Where does Pie-Face's name being Kevin come from?--GingerM 17:55, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm, I can't remember now. I know it was originally in the 'Pie-Face and Curly' article, most of which was nonsense. I'm sure I had a reason for including it in here, though...maybe it was revealed in one of the episodes of the TV series? BillyH 19:29, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Correct, the comic has never revealed Pie-Face's real name, but the TV show called him Kevin at least once. The entire series was reproduced in print form in now-defunct magazine Beano Superstars, so the name is canon. Digifiend 13:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Apostrophe
Does the comic regularly use the spelling Dennis's Dad (with an s) or Dennis' Dad (without)? I had regularised apostrophe use in the article, but now the article uses both sorts again. The web site www.beano.co.uk appears to use them interchangeably; I don't have access to the magazine. Michael Slone (talk) 04:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC) Michael, you don't live in the UK, New Zealand or Canada then? Anyway, it's usually Dennis's Dad. Digifiend 13:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC) I haven't read the Beano for a while. However I'm more concerned that in the article its been spelt "Dennis'ss" dad. - Bisected8 19:40, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Surnames
Does Dennis have a surname? He may not, but I'm pretty sure I've read that his enemy Walter has the name Simpkins. Can anyone verify this?
