Over on the "Pinch O' Snuff" thread, we were discussing the old Bazooka comics that came inside the bubblegum wrappers.
Since many of you probably don't check that thread, I thought I'd post this great find here:

I loved those. I didn't even like the gum. I would buy it and give it to friends so I could get the wrappers. Whoever drew/wrote those was sharp..

Always liked those as a kid. Gum was great too. Liked how hard it was to chew at first.

Speaking of mail order...I remember when the NRA allowed surplus and used carbines to be bought for $20.00...got one still wrapped in the paper with cosmoline all over it...had never been fired....boy was I lucky at the time...wish I still had it. Took almost 2 years before I got it after placing the order.

I remember that gum and those comics well. In the later 1950s, our local street sweeper used to give that gum to the kids on my block in San Francisco. A kindly old guy. Naturally, some parents had to complain to the City that a dirty old man was bothering children. So, he lost his job and we lost our gum. What a wonderful world, eh?

We had a guy down the street in the 50's that everyone said was a perv, but he fixed the kids bicycles for free and he never bothered any of us. We could drop in and get a new chain, or grip streamers, etc.
