When I was a boy…

This little series first appeared in newspapers ten years ago this week. It’s run here on the Web before, but I like it. Its blatant nostalgia is right up our alley. Don’t go to comics.com and peak ahead! I promise, I’ll be back tomorrow with another installment.

Speaking of comics.com, I have glad tidings. United Media is making drastic changes to the infrastructure of its highly popular but famously temperamental Web site. You should notice great improvements in the function of comics.com. Enjoy!
