Dennis the Menace Goes Mobile

The classic comic book Dennis the Menace is now accessible to mobile phones as picture messages. [The Times Online via The Mobile Technology Weblog]

"In a move that will challenge the traditional comic, publishers are looking at ways of dramatically reducing costs and attracting readers by sending strips as picture messages.

Unlike traditional comics, the new service works by sending cartoons directly to customers as digital slideshows. Strips of up to 12 frames are converted into digital files and sent to handsets using MMS (multimedia message service) technology."
