This strip is from 1950. At that time, two dollars would get a kid twenty comic books with at least 25 pages of story and art plus two text pages of story or fan correspondence. Today, the text pages are almost entirely absent. The story pages are often 21 or 22. And even if a kid purchases twenty of the cheapest comics, they’d cost sixty dollars.
