Back in my day comics cost 25 cents and came WITH super-powers! (comics)

Not like nowadays, all you kids have are ads for your damn video games.

My generation didn't just read about being heroes or villians, we could actually become them for a very cheap price! Our parents would tell us they were scams but they were wrong! Kids brave enough to mail for this stuff discovered that their parents were fucking liars!



X RAY VISION (real and it works!) I know, because I ordered it and could see through houses to watch women shower!

HYPNOSIS

See these? Also as advertised! I raised a whole damn colony of them and they talked to me and everything and weren't at all tiny microscopic brine shrimp!

Now you can be just like the super heroes in a matter of months! DON'T BE HALF A MAN

RACE CARS that are really big and really work!

SEE THAT? 4.50 for a FUCKING HOVER CAR

MINIONS!

Non-ankle-breaking shoes so you can jump from rooftop to rooftop!

THESE SHOES HAVE MORE THAN ONE PURPOSE!

Disguises for seducing women!

ALL of this shit works or why would they offer you your money back?

Thinking about fucking with someone that has an old comic book collection? DON'T because they might be a retired superhero or worse yet, super-villian!


Most major world events were actually the result of secret battles between kids that had all of this shit right here!

    See? You can't anymore, but back in my day a kid did just that and became the Monkey Overlord and one time the PTA meeting was about banning hoverboards in schools and all it came down to was a fight between him and me behind the stage and he won with all of his monkeys and now hoverboards aren't allowed in schools.

    Also, there was a comic of Galactus, who stopped eating planets when he realized how good twinkies are.

    He turns Aunt May into a new Herald, Golden Oldie, and she finds him a gigantic twinkie out in space, which is guarded by an angry alien french chef.

    My favourite was the one where some dudes try to steal gold bars but instead settle on twinkies, because they are just as golden.
