I think they fell under the family rule that my parents employed for things that we saw at the Berkeley Repertory Theater (where we had season tickets): if you understand the things that the actors are saying, don't tell us, and if you don't, don't ask.

I loved the covers, and like you read the comics. The other thing I looked for was coloured illustrations to cut out to make collages. It was unusual to find one that wasn't black and white.
