I gave 'em up after I got tired of "Richie Rich" and "Little Dot."

I read "Richie Rich" and other Harvey comics when I was little, too. But then I found Marvel and DC comics when I got older... and in the 80's, they and other publishers started putting out comics for an adult audience. For instance, I don't think Alan Moore has ever written anything for kids...

I like comics for kids myself! I'm one who prefers comics before the rise of the independents and the marketing to an adult audience. Marvel took a step forward in the 60s-70s in terms of realism but I think since the late 80s or so they and DC have drifted from realism into decadence. I didn't care for Watchmen in that respect. I found Moore more interesting on Swamp Thing.
