Red and Rover by Brian Basset for April 15, 2014

Red, how did you get so smart?! When I was a kid, I could hardly wait for the new issues of "Superman, too…and, to think, I actually liked Lois Lane =-O

Lois Lane vs. Lana Lang? Krypto, the Super Dog? Not to mention my favorite, the Bizarro World! God bless the American Way of Capitalism!

I was more into Tomb of Dracula and Werewolf By Night. Superman was too white bread and boring. Good wins out over inept evil yet again. Yawn.

Save all those comic books, Red, they’ll be worth a fortune on Ebay some day.

Watch out, Red! The PC Police – read DemoTAXocrat socialists – will be coming down on you for touting something they detest!

Except now it’s billions.

I read comics like Daffy Duck and Popeye. I’m definitely dating myself !

I remember True Comics, the only non-fiction one. My mother didn’t throw them away – just made me give them to my cousin, who shredded them within a month. They probably don’t have much collector value today, but I still fantasize about writing for them.

Spiderman.Aquaman (10cents/12 cents 1965)were more to my taste…I just read they’re killing off Archie comics in a couple of months.Bye Bye Veronica,Betty, Jughead….sigh..

Rover, do not ask what Superman is up to today.

I well understand what Red means. I’m just uncomfortable with the wording that sounds too much like those who view capitalism as exploitative. There is a whiff of that in Night-Gaunt49’s comment too, which implies it is a function of government to regulate the free market. I would say “Government is great…as long as it is under control. Lots of control.”

My comic book collection from the early 60’s has increased 250% Unfortunately that’s still only 25 cents each.
