National Comic Book Day

Today is National Comic Book Day.  When I heard that I gave a quiet little cheer.  What a great thing to celebrate.  My son enjoys National Talk Like a Pirate Day, arrrgg, but I think this is better. First because I don't have to walk around ,making weird noises and second because I have very fond memories of comic books. When I was a child my brothers and I were given a quarter a week as allowance. The best place to spend this bounty was at our small town drugstore.  The biggest decision I usually faced was did I spend the whole 25 cents on one super size comic or buy a 10 cent comic and spend the rest on bubble gum that came in a package with trading cards. Decisions, decisions.  Happily, the big comics only came out once a month so I got my share of bubble gum too. What bliss, blowing bubbles and reading the latest exploits of Archie, Betty and Veronica.
