re: #322 Decatur Deb
Started a few years of stamp collecting from the quarter-pound offers in the back. Still know where Upper Volta was, and that there never was a Lower Volta.
So that email I got with the request for help from the widow of its former Prime Minister wasn’t on the level?
The only thing I ever recall (offhand) ordering from a comic book were a dozen personalized pencils for a “gang” me and couple of other 9-year-old had “organized” at school. By the time the order finally came (months later, IIRC), I/we had completely forgotten about the pencils - and the “gang”.
