Any body else grow up with "Funny Papers"

We still get the funny papers

Yes
We used to take Silly putty and transfer the images onto the putty and stretch and distort them.

Growing up on the ranch, we didn't get a paper. Any Sunday comics were hand-me-downs and treasured. But the real bonanza was the summers when we could to my uncle & aunt's orchard so my parents could help with the harvest. By then I was bedridden so my contribution was limited to cutting cots for the drying trays, but being bedridden I qualified for access to the closet full of Sunday comics my uncle & aunt kept for when their kids were ill. They kept all Sunday comics, so there was an entire closet full.

I used to read the comics on the back of newspapers growing up.

I think i'm the only one that still buys newspapers at the gas station if i see them
But the price is ridiculous so i only do it maybe three or four times a year

And I think the comics are all old reprints

Yep. They were "Funny Papers" in our house.

Yes, and sometimes that was the best reading that was offered in our local paper.

Because stories about who attended Aunt Martha's Daily Brunch was worth the space.
Plus, the sports section talking about the local High School Football team having a 'winning' season didn't cut it either when the record was 1 win and 11 losses.

The funny papers, regular part of Sunday, somewhere between the morning routines, and afternoon supper. That paper be spread all over, yes we argue over who got one session 1st. There were so many comics in the comic section on Sunday they were in color. I miss newspapers. They’re no longer really a part of life now

The old comics were actually funny . 👍

Sure. And there was a boy down the block, one year older than me, who read some to me when I couldn't read yet. My favorite at that time was Sandy Sleighfoot.

I was reading dangerous literacy works like Tintin and Asterix. Many would advocate now that those left lasting damage on my psyche.
