When I was a kid (decades ago), I loved comic books.

5. My sad comic book story

When I was a kid my favorite comic books where Archie, Nancy, Little Lulu, Little Archie.

But there was this Superfriends one I bought when I was 10 years-old which I treasured. I read it over, and over again. It was by far my favorite comic book. Perhaps it was even my most prized possession at the time.

One day, an older cousin whom I hardly ever saw visits our house. He starts reading my precious Superfriends comic book. As he leaves, he asks to "borrow it". I wanted to scream NO! I wanted to say "I have no idea when I will see you again, give me my cominc book!"

But I just nodded. Of course, I never saw the comic book again.

I still get mad when I think about it. Mad about losing that comic book, but even angrier at my pusillanimity, which I've had to work hard to overcome.
