Hi Cathy, I remember the Rat Fink very well. My husband and I just watched a program on IFC about the creator not too long ago. My brother Pete used to draw Rat Finks all the time and he was pretty good at it. It's something that had slipped my mind until I saw the program. Wendy
Also, my dad kept all my Barbies for me and brought them down to Fl. were I live, about 10yrs. ago. I had Barbie, Midge, Skipper, Skooter, Ken and Allan. They weren't in the best condition, but I also had some cloths and that black patten leather case to keep them in. I got $400 for the lot from a collector. Wendy
Hi The hockey cards like a Bobby Orr rookie card,or the comic books which were considered a waste of money like the X Men,Flash,and the rest of the Marvel Group..Remember buying the first edition of Daredevil and Flash for a dime on Wellington St..the dep at Rielle. A DIME ...... Lad
Hi Wendy! Thx for the reply-I remember Peter and his sketches...I ended up being an art director and have fun recalling my high school friends and their artistic ability...Stan Giles and Joey (or Danny?) Mancini and of course your brother.My art teacher was Mr. Gregory at VHS-wonder what became of him-a SUPER great teacher and a helluva nice guy!
You didn't keep those first edition comics by any chance? eeew-I guess not....imagine what they are worth now...like my Beatles dolls....argh!
