Remember the Ads in the Back of Comic Books?

Melanie Quillin

Conversations can lead to places you never expected.  On the Thursday Morning Show we were introducing a NPR Morning Edition story on Swarms Of Tiny Sea Creatures are Powerful Enough to Mix Oceans. 

That led us down the rabbit hole of Sea-Monkeys.  And the ads in the back of comic books like X-ray specs,  Throw Your Voice, Charles Atlas and Your New Real Live, Miniature Monkey.  It wasn't just us that remembered, KAXE member Melanie from Brainerd called in her memory of her miniature monkey Capricorn.  Send us your memories!
