Okay, this is already borderline Geezer material: the likelihood that this kid will ever buy a newspaper as an adult is fairly remote.

My kids are already about twenty years older than this kid seems to be, and I doubt either one of them has read a pulp-and-ink newspaper in years.

Just for the record… I’ve abandoned the Death Watch, because I think it’s been well-established by now that Death shows up on the comics page more often than Marvin references his bodily functions.

That won’t keep him from appearing for cause, of course, as in this CIDU.
