Yup, I remember the Cardiff Giant.

Also the adds in the other comics were great. Remember how you could sell SALVE and buy a Schwinn bike. Wonder how many tins of salve you had to sell? Hmmmmmmm, pyramid sales for the very young.

Ads for Charles Atlas. Damn I'd have loved to have kicked that bully's ass on the beach (even though he left me alone cuz' I LOOKED big enough to fight!)

OH! And also in the backs of the Classics...little tidbits about Paul Revere...complete with totally wrong information, ha ha! George Washington too. Canadian bios always pointed out the WORST in our heroes (it's the Canadian way) so that we knew that DOLLARD did save the settlement from the injuns, but he also blew up most of his own men when he aimed the cannon the wrong way!! The Americans would have left that bit out.

We knew that our first Prime Minister (the Father of our country, so to speak) Sir John A Macdonald was a total depressive souse, before we read about any of his accomplishments.

Ever since Billy Bishop was recognized as the greatest WW1 flying ace, writers have been trying to figure out how he probably lied about his exploits. Hell, I knew EVERYTHING about Charlie Lindbergh longgggg before I found out he was a Nazi.

I know a LOT about Davy Crockett, Dan'l Boone etc. but very little about Raddison and Groseillieurs. Surely between then they killed at least ONE b'ar.
