I still have to brush the chicken coop to earn my allowance, and I usually blow it on comic books and bubble gum. My favorite comic right now is Fightin' Shemp Black and the Blasphemous Patrol -- I couldn't believe the cliffhanger at the end of the last issue!

Guess what -- me and Johnny solved the Mystery of Dead Man's Woods! It turns out Old Man Middleton was dressing up as a skeleton to try to trick Mrs. Gallegos out of her collection of antiques. He said he'd have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for our meddling.
