It probably was. I recall that being an awesome comic. I have searched for that damn thing but could never find it. Back then, I was really into airplanes (just like now
) and that one really caught my attention. Hopefully will find it one day.

They made that comic for years so there's a ton of them out there. Good luck hunting down one specific edition though.

Remember when pudding came in a medal can instead of plastic cup?
This was the snack my grandmother packed in my lunchbox almost daily.

These three fit into our summer vacation. Laying across the back dashboard, siblings in seats in the front, old man opening a Falstaff with a can opener while driving to Fort Walton, Winston dangling from his lips and saying " roll up the god damn windows, you're letting the smoke out."

One vacation we were in the back of the station wagon,Dad threatened to whip us if we didn't behave.
I knew his paddle was at the house and said in a smartass manner"what you gonna whoop us with you don't have your paddle"
Motherfricker pulled off the side of the interstate and proceeds to tear off a piece of the fake wood on the side of the station wagon to whoop us with.

I remember someone had a Peanuts lunchbox and we'd sit there at the table reading it. I loved Peanuts as a kid. Remember the Peanuts library books? Man, I loved these things....

Oh yeah, had quite a few of them. Found my old Go Fly a Kite one up in my parent's attic last year. Sat and read that thing straight through.
