| Half
the fun in the old days was stumbling across ads for Sea Monkeys,
backyard nuclear submarines or giant inflatable Frankensteins,
or "activity" pages that ranged from being simple
enough to insult a 3-year-old to impossible even for a NASA
scientist. These days all you'll find is full-page ads for movies,
video games and CDs; in other words, all the things that 90
percent of American kids are spending their money on instead
of comic books, anyway. But if you haunt those back-issue bins,
you just might get lucky and find truly creepy little ads for
joy buzzers, black soap and that all-time champ, the X-ray specs. |
