I’ve been reading comics for over 65 years. I still love them as well as the comments – even the ones I don’t agree with. It gives me a feeling of how diverse society is today and how much it has as well as has not changed over the years. For better or for worse, comics have given me a chance to see societal changes over the years from Blondie, Dick Tracy, Beetle Bailey and Peanuts to more contemporary ones. The theme of them all seem to be that they reflect the views of society as it changes on a daily basis – and I might add, so do the comments. I love them all because it helps keep me informed like the comics themselves.
My father operated a small gasoline station. He always blamed us kids for stealing his pliers. When he died, we found 26 pairs of pliers in his old easy chair at home that slipped out of his pants that had a place for a pair of pliers.
