I'm just waiting for the adjustment for inflation

other than that, it's all I dreamed!

Yup. I know I finally hit pay-dirt with "screen printing my own t-shirts" after trying to hustle GRIT newspapers, Cloverine salve and American Seeds . . .
The hardest part now is to figure out which "neat" prize to select . . . oh, and where to stack all those singles and fives . . .

One needs to be a certain age to know what this is about. I am one who also saw those ads on the back or inside cover of just about every comic I bought. I don't seem to remember the t-shirt part though...

A modified Grit ad from the November 1968 Fantastic Four special, I took to my plumbed reading room. This, in fact, is the specific issue that seriously got me going in Marvel Comics back then.
By then, I was well past the age to sell Grit or Clover Brand Salve, but as a youngster, I was a great salesman for Cub Scout fundraisers (mistletoe) as well as earning my way to YMCA camp "by selling these delicious Adams and Brooks Butter Toffee Peanuts, They're only $1.00, would you like to buy one?"

  In hindsight I wish I would have bought one or two of the Deming Ranchettes.
$5.00 a month and I would have owned some prime property in Deming New Mexico!

Hey, if one ate enough (or at least bought enough) shredded wheat from Nabisco, they could have built an empire, one square inch at a time.

Last I heard, the land was lost due to failure to continue paying taxes.

Best part, FELLOWS is $1.00 to $5.00 per WEEK!

I have one of those wrapped in plastic at home...

The only comics I ever bought with any regularity (other than Mad) was Sgt. Rock. I doubt comics today feature characters who smoke, but then things were a little different then.
The last one I bought was about 10 years ago -- in an antique store.

You have to realize that there is a contingent of members here upon whom many of those '60's and '70's characters were modeled.

I deny that. Well, OK, you got me.

I don't know nuthin' about any "Eggs" Ackley, Mr. Snoid, Ed Everyman, Artsy Fartsy . . .

  Of course, my personal favorite was Zap!
