Remember the magazine rack at the drugstore?  I liked to look at the
comic books and occasionally buy one for 10 cents.  Donald Duck, Bugs
Bunny & Elmer Fudd, Superman, Batman, Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers,
and other classics I don't much remember now.

Time marched on and then I remember buying Mad Magazine with Alfred
E. Newman (What, Me Worry?), Cracked Magazine and countless other
imitations of Mad Magazine.  I think they cost a quarter back then.

I don't think you were allowed to spend much time looking at the
comic books if you weren't buying them.  Remember:  this is not a
library.

I still have some of those old comic books squirreled away somewhere
around my house.

Anyone else recall Scott's drugstore magazine selections?  I guess
they probably also had Life, Look, Collier's, Saturday Evening Post,
along with other mundane selections.

However, in my mind, comic books ruled.  Now the comics in the paper
are pretty much worthless.  Not much to look at now in the Sunday
comics.  I'm not sure if the rugrats these days even know what comics
are.  They probably don't even know what a newspaper is.

Progress, I guess.

I was thinking that I addressed this before regarding the drug store but YES I remember sitting on top of the newspapers which were stacked along the bottom and reading the comic books.? I usually got yelled at about sitting there but would come back again and do the same.? I also remember the thing where you put in a penny and got your fortune and?your weight.?? That was certainly a memorable place.?? I don't have any comic books but I do have a old rolling stone magazine from when Elvis died!? Does that count?? I?do remember having a few too many chocolate malts there too.?? I also would go there each day to buy a newspaper for my dad and had to go past the pool room and zoomed by as quick as I could as?my dad told me he never wanted to catch me in that place.?? Hello! It was too dark and smelly just walking by to lure me in.?? I always wonder what the heck our kids will remember about walmart...........so sad but we just had the best!

Actually, I saw a guy in the subway reading a comic book the other day.? It appeared to be a hard-cover book; so, I guess they have changed over time.? I understand that, at least until a few years ago, comic books were big in Japan.? They didn't call them comic books, though.? There was some Japanese name for them.
