Cancelled Comics?

We never would have got the joke
If childrens’ comics had been ‘woked’
Back in our rose-tinted childhood days
When being old was far away.
Dennis was a menace,
Beryl was a peril,
Roger was a dodger,
Lord Snooty, an earl
Kate looked in keyholes,
Minnie was a minx
Weren't the Bash Street Kids
always up to high jinks.
Dan was always desperate,
eating his ‘cow pie‘
Oor Wullie , he was mischievous
he never telt a lie.
It often makes me wonder,
I think of this in rhyme
Would they be correct politically
or cancelled for these times?
( I was reminiscing the other day about the comics I read as a child in the '70s, and this set me writing this one!)

I like Dennis the Menace
I like Dennis the Menace most! To his mother: I think you're getting too big for your breeches too!
Andy Capp as well, this angry bouncer picks him up by the shirt: You're getting a bit thin on top pal.
Yes I wonder if they would still be acceptable, you know like Tarzan, Popeye, Charlie Brown, Superman etc? Too much violence hey?
Good old days! Tom
