Crying over comics
I start crying when I think of the many comic books that I sold or threw away years ago.
Adults hated them and couldn't get rid of them fast enough. Corrupting the youth of America!

What comic book are they reading?
Cotton Shirts
That's an unusual shawl-collar shirt. Both boys' shirts are probably 100% cotton and look like they have been ironed. Note the sharp creases on comic book boy's shirt.
Love those "white sidewall" haircuts!
Shorts
I dunno, check out the comic book -- the big blond guy with long hair (Samson?) is wearing shorts.
