They sort of divided up into categories. The ones that tried very hard to be funny. Those with the luscious big boobed babes that were boys kiddy porn before real porn was very available. Just like the movies, you knew one day that button was going to pop, if his pen slipped.
Ones like Far Side, where in only one small pix the entire scene had to be set and played with both the ying and yang showing.
Nancy, come on the kid was a dork.
Prince Valiant - Only on Sunday, but the singing blade, hey the guy was either chopping off heads or squeezing some really bad babe, what was not to like.
Haggar - Yup funny most of the time.
Wizard of Id - Nobody could be that dumb
Mary Worth - Come on, she never did nothing. Never one tiny hint she was ever going to get laid. Like the bigger concerns was the color of some napkin.
Blonde - She should have been a lil more full figured.
Tarzan - Yup, had the nice babe, wow what a life, always something happening, big fur friends, talking drums, cutting up those crocs. Man living in a tree house, getting a big sharp knife. Yup, just don't read that, study it.
Lil Abner - Yup, right on. You wanted guys who could draw them like no girls in your class ever looked.
Dick Tracy- He took forever to catch some guy and that cellphone on his wrist, come on, way, way to much mileage out of that.
Shoe - some great ones.
On and On, I really loved the comics, later on it was the first thing I read in the paper. Now I just go to the library to read the papers. Again always read all the comics.
As a kid, we knew all the comic books. There was a system of trading them, try to get some dumb kid to trade 2 / 3 for 1. Talk it up a bit, peak the interest. My sister could not remember the ones we had already had. Duh, you just sit there, didn't let her negotiate. You really wanted those high adventure ones. Ones with the well developed babes was high on the list, excellent trading material to those dorky kids with glasses that claimed they had no interest. Had the stash of "Never for Trade", permanent collection ones.
Then you would finally find out some far older guy had one of the comics that was bought "Under the Counter". Whoa, Archie was really going to score, Jughead was actually gay. Veronica would get ganged and Betty would be miffed again. Whoa..... O God is that how it is really done.
What is happening "Down There".
