DID YOU KNOW? ... Back in the 1940's, when my mom was just a kid, a nickle would get you six BIG candy bars at the local movie theater. Going to the movies cost about three times the price of a comic book, so for 50¢, my mom could have gotten her six candy bars, watched a cartoon, one part of a movie serial, seen the latest newsreel, and, if it was a weekend matinee, get to watch two feature films ... and still have money left-over to get herself a 48-page comic book. Today, 50¢ won't get you much of anything.
