Great little time capsule! Interesting seeing Hank Ketcham's early 1950s style. Amused by the fun reference to Betty Grable in 1953, still a popular movie star after her glory days on screen in the 1940s.

Pierre knows how these ladies need a little coaxing to get that tip. Dennis sees through it already at his young age.

Wow, that is an early example! Dennis looks pretty close to his final incarnation, including the "M" for "Menace" Ketcham used to indicate his nose, but I see more differences with Alice's face, hands, and feet. The staging and style of gag are totally consistent with the later strip IMO.
