[1] Dennis and Gnasher walk by a farm and notice the farmer's pig used its trough to prank him.

Dennis is intrigued and successfully takes the pig off the relieved farmer's hands, naming it Rasher.

[Note 1] Rasher received his eponymous comic strip in issue 2201, illustrated by Dave Sutherland.

[4] Early stories also featured Rasher's family, such his brother Hamlet, his sister Virginia Ham, Uncle Crackling and Little Piglet, who were all introduced in the first episode.

Eventually, Rasher returned in Beano 3601,[12] featuring in Dennis and Gnasher alongside Harley.
