" In 1950, Capp introduced a cartoonist character named " Happy Vermin "— a caricature of Fisher — who hired Abner to draw his comic strip in a dimly lit closet, ( after sacking his previous " temporary " assistant of 20 years, who had been cut off from all his friends in the process ).

The background was changed from one colour behind the logo and another behind the Dennis strip to one single colour or a pattern, such as red and black stripes.
