LOL.
 
I used to say I'm an alien, abandoned or forgotten here. :P

An alien will fit in well here! RADW is the Liquorice all-sorts
of Usenet.
 

But for this subject, I fail to see the importance of knowing
who made which comic. :)

For men in their fifties it's completely irrelevant, for ten
year old comic collectors it was a very serious business!!!

I couldn't tell you which company publishes Asterix & Obelix,
or Fix und Foxi, or Dennis the Menace either. That I know who
makes Mikey Mouse is just because it's so intrusively well
known, echoes even entered my cave. ;P

I never read Asterix but I remember the cartoons on the TV. I
wasn't really interested. Denis the Menace was BIG as was "The
Beano" comic that he was in, but I couldn't tell you who
published them either! He has become a legendary character
though as I still hear people refer to naughty-ish boys by
saying "he's a bit of a Denis the Menace" ...

Yes, I mean my mother! ;-)

 

My FOOM membership card was one of my most treasure
possessions... until I lost* it at school one day after
taking it in to show off! I was devastated, long before I
even knew what the word meant!!!

* For lost read: Stolen by some snotty nosed little brat
jealous because he didn't have cool stuff.

 
Boo.
 
Did you get it back?

Nah.

But I never took any of my comics in to school for break time
and others to read. If they wanted to read about Spider-Man, the
Fantastic Four or the X-Men, they could fuck off and buy their
own comics.
