Hi Elton – thanks for stopping by. Seems like we have a lot in common with our love of reading, especially newspapers. I really hope that this form of media never disappears, at least in my lifetime. All the best!

Terry, I really enjoyed reading your comments! True for me as well that by about age five I was waiting to get my hands on the paper every day so I could read the comics. And for me as well, Nancy was the very first strip I read, every single time! I noted with interest your remarks about how that got you started on a lifetime of reading, and to this day you look forward eagerly to the paper each day. Ditto, ditto , ditto! I never realized that Nancy and Sluggo could have been the reason I started down the fantastic vicarious path of reading. If I have a good read of whatever kind I am good anywhere, anytime.

Hi Marti, Dharmamama, Jesse and Bob – thanks to all of you for stopping by.

Marti, ah yes, “borrowing” comic books. I might have done that a time or two…..

Dharmamama, sounds like you are quite the comic reader – I also love the Far Side.

Jesse, yes, the cobwebs are gone. You da man!

Bob, I’m glad I was able to clarify a few things about myself for you!

All the best to all of you.

“Nancy”, huh? Well, that sure explains a lot!

My favorite Sunday comic used to be “Rick O’Shay” until it went away. However, I’ve always been fascinated by “Prince Valiant”, surely one of the longest running ones ever.

My favorite comic book? Why Spiderman, of course!

Thanks for participating, Terry. It looks like I really cleared out some cobwebs there. You should be able to think better today.

I remember Nancy! I’ve never stopped reading the comics, I even have a subscription online since I don’t take a paper any more. All time favorite would have to be Calvin & Hobbes, followed closely by The Far Side, and Bloom County. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

I was never much of a comic book reader, but I do remember stealing…errr..”borrowing” those from a cousin, and getting tremendous laughing fits from it!

Best wishes to you and yours for a fabulous 4th!

Hi Connie – you are quite welcome, and I’m glad this one “excavated” a few memories of your own! All the best.

I haven’t thought of Nancy and Sluggo in years — thanks for the reminder!

And Happy 4th to you!
