[That Ron Dude]

Ice cream at the Dairy Queen was ten cents, a bag of chips came with a disc that showed a player's face and I collected all of the Leafs, chocolate bars were a nickel or a dime and Mad Magazine was thirty cents-- I had about a three year run of those. I remember having to choose between a Batman Annual and a large bag of peanuts one day after going swimming at Bathurst Heights pool. An "old" lady whom I had never seen before, subsidized me and I had both. Looking back, she probably thought I was a kid from the nearby Ontario Housing Project and that was her way of having a social conscience. That was about it for me in Toronto during the time of the twelve cent comic.
