Comics

COMICS Remember the comics? Sunday morning Paper at the door After breakfast Sprawled on the floor Reading the comics The characters Both colorful and exciting 8 full pages Variety inviting Loving the comics Hoople and Martha Tracy and his Tess Every Sunday They’re in such a mess Laughing at the comics Mutt and Jeff Mutt so tall Jeff like Stan Laurel Vacuous and small Needing the comics Sunday’s rest A chance to renew Popeye Alley Oop Blondy Valiant too

As a kid I used to tear through the paper every sunday to read the commics. Loved Alley Oop, Peanuts and Cathy (which came later). Blondie had her funny moments too, but I think Dagwood stole the stage from her. Love, Carolyn
