I actually have a bunch of original Archie OA from this era too. Funny stuff I wanted to frame, but gave up on that idea when I realized how much it would cost to frame entire 5-6 page stories. Ok, a little later, but I have the tarzan story from this one:.... Am I allowed to comment like this in a journal?

Absolutely.... great cover!

Not to be a grumpster, but where on earth are you finding these 10 cent archies for $1? I haven't for years. I've been having to spend like $4-6 a pop lately. It's killing me! Anyway, I have to say, I have a very similar affinity for these goofy comics and pick them up when they don't break the bank. And I'm not even doing it under some sort of long term convoluted speculation play like most of my purchases, I just enjoy them for their corniness.

Small show in Maryland that's every couple of months... when I'm in the states, I always stock up on some great reading material. I DO however, mostly see them for $4-$6 a pop though.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I was very glad to listen to my mentor when I was in law school. I never would have accomplished half of what I have if it wasn’t for her advice. I still see her a few times a year for dinner and run things by her. 

That's good.

And as a lawyer, you probably see all kinds of 18-20 year olds who drink, smoke, smoke pot, drive too fast, and get in trouble because they didn't listen to their parents or elders. I'm not saying your situation doesn't happen - glad it happened for YOU - I just see a lot more kids who DON'T seem to listen to that advice.

Gabe, I think a lot of people here should be ashamed of themselves as they seem to get off on giving you a hard time or having to be right and you be wrong.

They should absolutely be embarrassed. Reading through this I just kept thinking - if something ever happens to this kid, THIS JOURNAL is a document of online bullying from some of these people.

I don't find Gabe to be a bad guy in the least bit - he's just another soul searching for hope in the world. We just watched him take on some of the biggest trolls on this forum here and handled himself pretty assuredly.

Those here passing judgement on him... THAT is what is sad.

I mean I would have killed for this level of support when I was in my 20s. Dozens if not hundreds of very knowledgeable people WANTING to see him succeed, giving him practical, helpful advice. 

Seriously? My experience is that 20 year olds RARELY listen to the advice of adults.
