That kid reading the comic reminds me of Wheezer.

From that 1948-vintage newsstand photo of the comic books being sold, the comics used to sell for a dime. If I had a dollar, and could purchase ten of them, I'd go with these:

1. MR. DISTRICT ATTORNEY: DC title based on radio show
2. BLACK CAT: Harvey Comic's female super-hero
3. MODERN COMICS: good Blackhawk stories
4. WHIZ COMICS: Captain Marvel, Ibis the Invincible
5. KERRY DRAKE: good Dick Tracy imitator
6. YOUNG ROMANCE: Simon & Kirby, solid storytelling
7. ROY ROGERS COMICS: Roy, Dale, Trigger, Bullet the dog
8. PLANET COMICS: Fiction House sci-fi anthology
9. ALL WINNERS COMICS: Sub-Mariner, Blonde Phantom
10. SMILIN' JACK: aviator from comic-strip

I know it is a gif, but this dancer was the coolest cat on Soul Train (other than Don Cornelius). ALmost always wore a suit, and always had the perfect moves.

The only photo of Betty Page that I've seen where she's not posing as a pinup bimbo.

Blade Runner. Based on my guess that the poster is Polish and using the Goggle translator, it says Android Hunter.

I remember thinking when I was younger that was an awesome movie, watched it years later and laughed at how terrible it was

Tareyton is what my parents smoked. Bought many a pack/carton for them when I was a kid.

My mom was as well... She made me ride my bike to K&B to pick her up a pack of Tareyton 100's... With 50 cents back in the 70's...

I give her shite till this day about making me do that...

Imagine asking you kid to go buy you cigarettes today..

My momma smoked Pall Mall Gold back in the 70s. I remember being like 5 years old and she’d send me into the store with a dollar to buy her a pack of smokes and me a candy bar.

Yes, If you going to destroy your lungs with a vice, get off your arse and go get your own damn cigarettes...

I wasn't even given the option for a treat.

My wife's father use to make her buy him a carton of Marlboro reds, at least she got a Ring Pop...
