A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)
Your father was obviously trying to suppress his attraction to shapely women in jeans, CJ, and your mother was supporting him by not wearing them herself. It's an old Scottish Presbyterian 'thing'.
I did, CJ. An old school pal sent me a link about them yesterday. I remember TV ads for comics in the '60s & '70s, it was once quite common. As circulation gradually decreased in general, however, it wasn't cost-effective to pay for TV advertising, as it didn't lead to big enough sales to offset the cost .
Apparently the POTA weekly was advertised on TV but I definitely never saw those ads otherwise I'd have started reading POTA from No.1 and not No.5 which I happened to see by chance when it came out. I do remember The Titans and Captain Britain having TV ads though.

Yes, Kid - my father for one. He hated women wearing trousers and so did my mother who never wore them.

Kid, did you hear about the discovery of DC Thomson TV ads from the '50s and '60s featuring such publications as Jackie and The Dandy?

Last ones I recall seeing are MWOM and (maybe) SMCW, CJ, though I might remember others if I saw them again.
