Comic Relief
I read today that Marvel Comics have killed Captain America. A sniper shoots him as he leaves a courthouse, in the latest issue of the Comic Book.
Farewell Captain! It was nice knowing you when I was in my pre-pubescent years. I only wish that I still had copies of your early Comic Books that I bought in the 1950’s, so that I could sell them on EBAY.
In my pre-teen years I read a lot of Comic Books. Predominantly, DC and Marvel comic books and they were the classics. These were the action and super hero Comic Books. Superman, Batman, The Green Flash, Sgt. Rock (rat-a-tat-tat) and the horror comic books such as “Tales from the Crypt.”.
Back in the 1950’s Comic Books were a means of escapism for young males. Currently it is television, computers and video games. We had television, albeit Black & White, but that was back in the time when the parents actually would control what was viewed by the family. There were no VCR or DVD Players.
My Dad enjoyed watching Lawrence Welk on Saturday nights, I didn’t. So it was off to my room to read the latest Comic Books.
I spent most of my weekly allowance on either Comic Books or Baseball Cards. And the allowance wasn’t a given, as you had to do certain chores to earn it. It supposedly taught us to learn the value of a dollar.
My parents once commented to me, when they were both still alive, that my sister and I were both spoiled as children. And that we were allowed many more personal freedoms than they had when they were youths. I look at my children and their children and refute this claim made by parents. Their lives must have been a living hell!
As generations pass we tend to give more liberty to our children. The things that we wanted to do, but were not allowed to do as children, echoes in our minds. Therefore, we cut our children some slack on these issues. And our children tend to cut even more slack to their children than we did as parents.
I recently read a well written Blog about teenage girls and their sexuality. And as Bob Dylan wrote over 40 years ago – “The Times they are a Changin’”.
Goodbye Captain America. "Your old road is rapidly changing."
