The Daily Sabbatical

Cracked magazine has a funny little segment called 12 comic book ads that made us cynical. There you will find a list of nifty products, several of which i purchased when flipping through my Richie Rich comic books. (Yes, I know those are the dorkiest comic books, and perhaps even morally corrupting, but I was a young republican at age 5. My brother wasn’t. I recall him at four years old crying when Jimmy Carter lost to Reagan. I’m pretty sure he thought Carter had been killed, but I don’t know for sure. Turns out, in any case, he had more foresight than I did.) I won’t say which products I bought, but let’s just say I find it remarkable that I wanted to see through blouses at that tender age.
