The Time My Dad Got Caught Reading Comic Books

Here's how our Sundays went : When I was a Kid there was this show on our local TV station that aired animated cartoons but not with the orginal soundtrack. The sound track was replaced  with classical music. The idea was for the parents to relax  on Sundays. Kids busy watching animated cartoons and the adults listening to classical music while reading the newspaper.

One Sunday my sister and I were reading comic books in a separated room. All of a sudden my dad came in, sat down in a chair ,and started to read one of the comic books. Maybe, he was bored. After all there were no video games, computers or other media that we have today.

My mom came in the room and saw my dad reading a comic book and said "Now, really. what in the hell are you doing?" .So my dad left the room to watch more tv.

Speaking of my dad reading comic books?  I knew my brother had bought  a Lois Lane comic book ,but we couldn't find it. I  had searched around and found my mom reading it.She did  not notice me.Maybe she wanted to know what we kids were reading but I don't think so. 

Everytime there was a Lois Lane comic that we kids had bought ,it disappears then it shows up in our "reading" room later.Maybe my mom likes Lois Lane comics or maybe  she liked the story in it that is three issues long ,and had to wait  for the new issues.
Back then comics read like the Golden Books.

Below is a picture of one of the comics I caught my mom reading in secret;
I'm claiming fair use here:
By the way, did you ever wonder why that most Superman characters have the intitials of L.L. ?  It is because one the creators  of Superman had a girl friend with the intitials of L.L.
