I used to love reading comics, back when there were fun cheap comics in the grocery store for all kids to read, before comics retreated completely into comics stores where the air hung heavy with the scent of adolescent testosterone.
Unca Scrooge made for some great comics, definitely the best of the Disney pantheon. Tales of the ridiculously rich are always popular with kids. Enjoyed those, and I also was not above perusing the pages of Sad Sack, Beetle Bailey, Casper, or Richie Rich. But I will ever be true to Archie.
Casper, or Richie Rich. But I will ever be true to Archie.
I was a HUUUGE fan of Harvey Comics as a kid. I can remember hanging out on my family's porch in the summertime with a huge stack of them (I'd re-read them over and over) whiling away the whole day with Richie Rich and Cadbury, the butler. Casper and Little Dot were big faves, too.
