What the heck were those? We didn't have 'em in my neighborhood. My bros had superman & spidie. I had Barbie & Betty & Veronica. Also was a big fan of Beano, but that was British, IIRC, don't know if you could get it here w/o a transatlantic subscription.
At the time I thought they were just a nuisance but it turned out they were a harbinger of troubles yet to come.
