You are welcome! My oldest is into the Japanese Manga comics...the good ones. I don't quite see the appeal! Give me Marvel artists and story lines ANYDAY over Manga!
I think it is good that they waited until the effect technology was up to speed to give us the Silver Surfer, as well as the other comic book characters that have recently come to life on the silver screen.
Speaking of simple pleasures, I would go down to the old lady's house a block away - she had 6 chihuahuas, smoked like a chimney and read comics all day long. She sold us comics at a really cheapo rates. We would go buy the comics and go back and relax in the trailer (it was on some land my family owned in NC), with the big fans blowing, sipping sweat tea, my parents playing cards with my uncle and grandparents...we would go boating on the Elizabeth river, and swim at the beach (but only on the side that the water moccasins wouldn't go on). Sometimes we'd ride our minibikes up and down the dirt roads...and when we were done, Silver Surfer, Incredible Hulk, Hawkeye, the Fantastic Four, etc etc were all waiting for us (my cousins and me)! yup. That was the simpler life!
