I was institutionalized as a child.
They called it public school.

I'm at that odd stage in life. The kids are too old and the grand kid isn't quite old enough. Although I should have passed this on to my eldest. He does have a collection, but I think he fancies himself a comic connoisseur. What ever that that is.  |

My dad did me an inadvertent favor when I was young. He threw out my comic book collection once when we were moving. I was really torqued at the time but it served to break the early hoarder spirit in me (don't worry - it reasserted itself later on!).
Nowadays I can still appreciate a well-crafted "graphic-art" story but the spell is broken on mindlessly collecting them. And with no children to share them with or bequeath to what's the point?

I can vividly remember in grade school and Jr. High it was Mad magazine. Then came High School and National Lampoon. Of course it was only for the articles.  |
