Ahhh - how magical the ads seemed when we were kids . . .
How totally awesome would it be to watch your "friend's" lips pucker up to an outrageous size,
or to take a look at the cute girl next door with your X-Ray specs!
I remember sending away for the practical jokes, waiting in anticipation for the package to be delivered
in 4 - 6 weeks. While waiting, I would daydream about who my victim would be, and how I would spring my trap.
And then . . . the package arrived and intense enthusiasm turned into bitter disappointment.
In this section, we look back at the wacky items advertised in the pages of our fondest comic books.
