Richie Rich! Heya!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:18pm
Rich in Washington:

HA! I grew up near a large, amish-like religious community of Finnish Apostolic Lutherans. They all called me Richie Rich because Harvey comics were one of the few types of comics they could have, as superheroes and monster comics were violent, worldly and Satanic.

Little Lotta. Wasn't that a character? I guess body shaming was OK to Apostolic Lutherans.
Avatar ♥ 12:25pm
Tony Coulter:

Speaking of Veronica (well, I was), she was my very first crush.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:25pm
Rich in Washington:

(reading about Harvey characters): apparently, there's a comic character within the comic Little Lotta called Flying Man.
  12:26pm
still b/p:

Lotta’s size and appetite were not kindly treated, but she kicked ASS when teasers needed schoolin’.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:27pm
Rich in Washington:

The older I get, the more my stance re: Betty v. Veronica changes. I'm willing to bet now that Veronica was really neurotic and Betty, being somewhat repressed for all those years, is much less inhibited than her good girl image would have you believe.
I don't spend a lot of time thinking about these things, honestly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:28pm
Rich in Washington:

apparently, Little Lotta will be in an upcoming Netflix serialization of the whole Harvey ouvre. No lie, G.I.
  12:30pm
still b/p:

Tying comics more directly to religion, I saw an Archie piece in which happy Betty announced all around that her boyfriend was Jesus. Don’t know if that was a temp takeover/ adaptation of intention... art-wise it was the real deal.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:31pm
Rich in Washington:

I've seen that one. It's bizarre. Also an Archie or related comic where a young girl has an exorcism performed on her.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33pm
Rich in Washington:

I honestly forgot all about Archie comics until the issue came out in the mid 80s where Jughead became a hardcore punker. I think it was somewhat controversial or got written up as 'Archie's changing with the times - blather..'

And to think, Archie went through the whole hippie era without his hair ever getting an inch longer.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm

YES! The old EC Mads got reissued sometime in the 70s, tucked into a contemporary issue. God, I wish I still had those! So goddamn funny!

Costes was nuts. I seem to recall that once in the late 80s, he issued a CD, which was actually a round piece of cardboard with a message scrawled on it cursing the buyer for actually buying the 'CD'.

Though main characters only got a slight degree of groovy, around them some hippie-ness and signs of the times showed up which was fun.
And remember when the gang had superhero alter-egos for a while?

My guess is that out of "character," Costes is totally sane and reasonable. But who knows....

Tony Coulter:

So, it seems like hip young record collectors are really starting to go for the super-clean digital sounds of mid-'80s into '90s new age/minimal/experimental stuff (like this David Van Tieghem). Isn't rediscovering the CD the logical next step?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:24pm
Rich in Washington:

I have a hard time thinking anyone will ever romanticize the CD format, but maybe that's me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:26pm
Rich in Washington:

But it's funny to hear that younger people are getting into New Age-y sounds. How did that happen? Did their dads turn them onto Jade Warrior, Jean Michel Jarre, etc.?
Avatar ♥ 1:26pm
Tony Coulter:

I think it'll come eventually -- it's inevitable. Younger people don't like 'em now because they are what their parents listened to. But once enough time passes....
Avatar ♥ 1:28pm
Tony Coulter:

Romanticizing the CD will come eventually, I mean. The New Age craze has been big for a while, and has been branching off into all sorts of hybrids, like Italian minimalist/experimental/ethnic/new age.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:29pm
Rich in Washington:

I am encountering this new huge wave of finding cool things at thrift stores on CD. Like I'm guessing gen-xers are maybe dumping their CDs, now, whereas before, they were holding onto them?
Not crazy rare stuff per se, but stuff that's somewhat obscurish, desireable, like people would go apeshit over it if it was reissued on vinyl, which perhaps is another reason...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:30pm
Rich in Washington:

Sort of reminds me of how people were dumping their vinyl records in the late 80s/early 90s.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:31pm
Webhamster Henry:

Or dumping their piano rolls.
Avatar ♥ 1:31pm
Tony Coulter:

Yeah, I've been picking up tons of good super-cheap CDs -- I'm not prejudiced when it comes to the medium. And yeah, it definitely reminds me of the great '90s vinyl dump off.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:31pm
Rich in Washington:

a lot of horrible garbage too. All that so-called 90s alternative and Nu Metal crap.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:33pm
Rich in Washington:

RIght on, Henry! There were probably guys who in the Edison cylinder days were going "Um, actually - I prefer PIANO ROLLS!"
Avatar ♥ 1:34pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Webhamster Henry: Not sure when you left Park Slope, but: Do you remember that nameless record store on 5th Ave. and Ninth St.? They actually carried piano rolls, that had probably been dumped back in the 1890s.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:34pm
Rich in Washington:

Looking at all that 90s crap, I think that might've been a horrible time for music, but geez, I don't know. Now seems pretty freaking awful.

Of course I'm talking about the 1890s. Nothing but Sousa marches and Caruso.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:36pm
Webhamster Henry:

5th and 9th? hmm not my neighborhood! Too bad, we had the reproducing piano while we were in the Slope - it's now with my sister in Pennsylvania after about 15 years. I never bought any rolls for it - they just accumulated from other people!
