\nHmmm... interesting... You know that is the only thing I miss about North America, the Saturday color comics... Those were awesome... I\'d spend about an hour in the bathroom just reading them leisurely with nothing else to do.... Color comics were the bomb.. Family circus, Marmaduke, Crankshaft, For Better or For Worse, Calvin and Hobbes, Hagar the Horrible...
\n
\nBut yes, I can see the point... you think that branding has seriously damaged the imagination of children.. However, that can\'t be 100% true as someone keeps coming up with new branded things! \r\n

\r\n \r\n
\r\n
is it possible to be a Cynical Optimist? LOL...
\n
\nI tend to consider myself a "realist" where I see things for what they are...
\n
\nIf you stop looking at everything either as being bad, or good, and start looking at something as it just "is" then you start to develop a unique mindset that helps to better tackle issues that arise in life.
\n
\nIt\'s amazing but you actually panic less, and are free to move from inside the box thinking to outside the box thinking as well.
\n
\nI usually start out the day with the following:
\n
\nI am thankful for/happy for X
\n
\nAnd I go through the list at least 3 times, and I try to find at least 5 things. Helps a lot.\r\n

Solstice Goat is on a distinguished road
Talking I was looking for a Billy/Dolly interchange, but this was good.

A serious post above reminded me of the Family Circus spoof where Dolly was laying on her back in the kitchen, mom was looking on, Billy was standing over Dolly with his hand extended, exclaiming, "I'm Rick James, Bitch!"

Seems harder to find things on the net.





Note to anyone studying how post-modern capitalism affects the imagination of children: Kids become unable to conceptualize play-worlds that do not featured branded, licensed characters sometime between whatever age PJ is supposed to be and whatever age Jeffy is supposed to be.
