One of those blandly charming "slice of America" magazines. May lean to the right, I can't remember. The current issue features articles with titles like "North Dakota's Enchanted Highway Showcases Unique Folk Sculptures" and "The Main Thing In Maine Is Lobsters."

Oh, Richie Rich once showed Gloria how to sell Grit, and then all their pals sold Grit. And then they saturated the market and withered out. Professor Keenbean should've warned 'em, I swear.

I remember all that stuff from the seedy back-pages of Boys Life. DAMN, how I wanted that hovercraft kit. Only $20! No more school bus for me.
