Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for October 08, 2014

I am sure that Jimbo reads them only to ensure there is nothing bad for Pasquale to see. Like skimpy clothes or trunks that look like underwear.

I deeply regret not having my old comic books to give to my daughters to read: old “Archie”, “Casper”, etc. I can’t for the life of me remember whatever happened to them.

Before television, we children used to get together and trade comic books. They cost ten cents, except for the big collection issues which cost a quarter. Mine were in a big box in my grandmother’s attic, and were left there when they sold the house….hope someone made some money off them!

My mother was dead set against comic books until my grandfather bought me one (Wonder Woman) and she found me quietly reading with a dictionary right next to me…then she became comics biggest defender! :-)

@elven_eyesI too learned how to read with comic books; I was able to get out of reading the classics when my English teacher realized that I was reading them through a illustrated version. They would now be referred as graphic novels.

Rose will be upset when Pasquale finds Jimbo’s copies of “Watchmen” and “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.”

My elementary school principal was once asked about her opinion of comic books. The questioner must have been anticipating a denouncement of them, but Miss Kardell surprised them with the response, “At least the children are reading something.”

Too much information, Pasquale…!!

Comics is how my parents got my brother and I to read and behave on a really long family camping trip – Garfield in our case. It instilled a love of reading in both of us.

Any time a kid reads is alwasys a good time. I remember the “Eeie” and “Weird” comic books.

I have seen some good art.

I need to spell or type better.
