In an effort to reduce cost and keep up with the changing times, the classic comic book Dennis the Menace is now accessible to mobile phones as picture messages.
According to Times Online:
Unlike traditional comics, the new service works by sending cartoons directly to customers as digital slideshows. Strips of up to 12 frames are converted into digital files and sent to handsets using MMS (multimedia message service) technology.
It's nice to see some classics embracing mobile technology. After all, the youth market now is addicted to anything online and mobile. However, I don't expect this favorite comic book of mine to gain significant readers in the era of Transformers and Harry Potter. They should consider promoting to the adult market craving for a slice of childhood memories.
