OMG, I remember that! I wouldn't have, until I saw that picture, but now I do. Wow. Either it was still in print when I was learning to read, or I was getting someone's used ones, but I loved that little magazine.

Did they seriously misspell "license" in an ad from the 60s? That's almost unheard of. Back then, most people were literate, and they had editors, just in case. Maybe this is a mock-up done by some millennial, to LOOK like an old ad. Hard to tell.

And that's about how it looked back in the day

Unfortunately. I had to ride the stinky bus every day until I was a senior in high school and then I only got to drive the family car once in a great while. Still rode the bus the other days. Man, I hated that.

Who watched Batman as a child

Back in the 7th grade, our school had a practice of showing movies in the gym during lunch if it was raining or snowing outside and we couldn't go out for recess. One day, they showed the 1966 movie version of Batman. We were ROLLING on the floor, all of us, laughing hard enough to get stomach cramps! I found a copy of that movie on DVD a few years back, and every once in a while, when I need a laugh, I pop it in the player and enjoy the absolute silliness of it all. I don't know how they made that movie with straight faces. There must have been a LOT of wasted film! The scene where Batman is trying to dump a bomb that's about to explode and there's always something in his way, a woman with a baby carriage, nuns, a mother duck and her ducklings, among other things... OMG, hysterical!

Oh, THAT one. I can tell you exactly why I never saw it. My little brother asked to go to the movies on his birthday one year, so Mom took him. That was the movie they saw. For literally MONTHS afterward, he was marching all over the house, announcing, "It's a MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD....." ad infinitum. I wanted to kill him just to shut him up and it sort of ruined the whole idea of seeing that movie afterward.

Next time I see it on TV, I'll gird my loins and attempt to watch it. :)
