Rasher was a comic strip
in the UK
comic The Beano
, featuring Dennis the Menace
's pet pig Rasher. The strip also featured Rasher's family, like his brother Hamlet, his sister Virginia Ham, Uncle Crackling and Little Piglet, who were all introduced in the first strip. It was drawn by David Sutherland and ran from 1984 until 1988.
Rasher made his first appearance in The Beano in issue 1920, May 5, 1979 in the 'Dennis the Menace and Gnasher' strip.
From issue 3480 (25 April 2009), older Rasher strips were reprinted in full colour in The Beano. Later they stopped, due to Dennis and Gnasher being revamped for their new TV series (2009); Rasher was dropped outright in this series and seemingly replaced with a new pig called Harley, belonging to Dennis' Granny.
Eventually, Rasher returned in Beano issue 3601, featuring in Dennis and Gnasher
alongside Harley.
