I read this comic book over and over again as a child into a teenager. There was something very comforting about this book and I’m sad to this day that I no longer own this little gem.

Reading this is a trip back to the 1970's, or at least the 1970's I saw on TV, since I was a little kid back then.

Loved this. Takes place in the time period I was growing up. Younger kids wouldn't find this funny.
