No such thing as a bad dad joke when it's in the funnies!

All of this is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing! It's like the catalog pages to order gear in Red Dead 2!

My family gets the local paper for our community, and my uncle gets the paper where he lives. I remember I used to like the word scramble puzzles they had in there, as well as. obviously. the funnies

It's my absolute favorite. My bf loves watching me play it. He won't play except for the gambling. I went to bed one night and woke up and Arthur was RICH.

I actually buy a newspaper when I need to see local election results.

I remember my dad giving me $2 coin to go ride my bike to the corner shop to get the newspaper on a Sunday. He also would give me money to get lollies for my sibling and me. I’m also not that old ( still in my 20s) and it’s amazing to think it’s a rare thing now days.

I haven’t seen anyone read a newspaper in a very long time.

My gramma had the newspaper all the way up until she passed away in 2022. So yes I do remember!

I think that's an amazing story! And its probably a dying experience, sadly.

Thank you for sharing that @KittenNoir!

They are still kind of a thing here? Not as widespread as they used to be, but you can still normally buy them at a kiosk or have them delivered.

I would say back in the 90s. My brothers and I would read the comics. Garfield and Snoopy. My grandma kept the Garfield stuff animal in good condition. She passed away two years ago. So I have it. It brings me good memories with her
