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.

Can I have chocolate instead? :)

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!!!

Hehe. I get that at least. :)

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!

Yep, I read them, but couldn't remember what the actual comic was 
called. "The Beano" rings a (faint) bell though!

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! ;-)

Hahahaaa.

My grandmother was more "Stop (whatever you're doing), the people are 
looking." at just wiggling my feet, bored at the bus station.

My so-called mother at some point said I need some elbows. But the only 
thing she ever did for me/my upbringing was (at the few times I lived 
with her) bullying me to eat vegetables. That was a good thing at least.

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!!!

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.

Hehe, understandable!
