Jeepers, Mr. Wilson! Another childhood icon gone. 

The linked article doesn't mention the other TV series he did. An almost unrecognizable teenage Jay North starred in a one season very obscure NBC show called "Maya." The title character was an elephant and the show took place in India. It did not last long.

Funny, I thought he was much older than that.
Anyway I never found Dennis the Menace TV show, comic book or any other version remotely funny.
As for next door neighbor I thought he should have reported his parents to child protective services for raising an obvious psychopathic child.

I seem to vaguely recall a DXer named Jay North.

Not long indeed. Only 18 episodes.  It was done in by the still quite popular Jackie Gleason Show on CBS and a primetime Dating/Newlywed Game combo on ABC.
