I didn't understand the point of this kind of crap as a child, and it makes less sense to me now. Am I supposed to feel badly because I'm not like Al? Am I supposed to feel badly because I don't want to be like Al? I never knew how I was supposed to take it when my old man would point out how awesome other little boys were and what a disappointment I was because I spent my evenings reading instead of watching television with the family (sadly, that was one of many insane things he said - you just can't make some stuff up).
Nice choice of shoes there, "Outstanding Boy." I can imagine Al's head was shoved into many a flushing toilet in high school.

Alan aka jettblackberryx@yahoo.com
Your dad really said those things? Now I just want to give you a big ol' hug. =(
Allen is my hero! He is so dreamy!!
This ad was from Adventure Comics #128 - oddly enough, it doesn't have any legal info inside, but there is an ad with an expiration date on it of 1948, so that's my guess.
Anybody notice the number of Thom McAn STORES went UP, but the number of cities went DOWN? Interesting...
Ugh. The things I notice...
