Comics on the Radio

I found out something very interesting while reading yet another article about how newspaper comics are dying. Apparently in 1945 LaGuardia, the mayor of New York City read the comics page to children over the radio during a newspaper strike.

I did a quick YouTube search and found this video. How awesome is that! I can’t imagine anything like that happening nowadays.

    Wow… That’s pretty incredible. No, I couldn’t imagine anything like this taking place today, which is really sad.
