Girls Talk - HaHa Hah! Books


Another week where I scratch my head and think....when did I last have those?

The only funny reads that I lay my hands on are my Archie comic books...and I have a ton of them.

There are 3 more boxes like this in our house....full of comic books
I don't know what it is with this redheaded boy and his gang that has addicted me throughout my adolescent life and well into my twenties. I rarely missed an issue during those times. My husband was even jealous because I was spending too much time with Mr. Andrews and Mr. Jones and their antics.

I actually only stopped buying the comic books because they became too expensive (they are imported into South Africa, you see, and the import duties are hell). And I guess I realised I was growing old to be hanging out with 17-year-olds.... :-(

So I have passed on my museum collection of comic books to my daughters. And hope they enjoy the Archie gang as much as I did.


Don't know if comic books count but this is my entry for this week's Girls Talk.
