BTW thanks to Chris Hilbig for the TV Disney comics link. It's neat to see all those commercials.<BR>

One questions remains to be addressed though. I will put it here in all<BR>
bluntness:<BR>
<BR>
Are Disney comics outdated? <BR>
<BR>
Are we here on this list just a bunch of old fools reveling in<BR>
nostalgia, trying to recapture the vanished wonders of our youth?<BR>

Sigh. Sometimes I wish I was born a generation earlier. Being 23, I've come toward the tail end of things with Disney comics (though Gemstone represents a new beginning). Old time radio shows, old movies, Disney comics, with interests like that, I act like more of a previous generation ( or two even :p<BR>
<BR>
As for kids and what do they like these days? My 9 and soon to be 3 year old nieces, they are absolutely insane for stuff like Spongebob Squarepants. Yuck! I know I'm being biased. Spongy's alright, it's just not my preference. I think they like stuff like Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, etc. well enough, but they seem more of a Disney fan in general. "Can we watch Lion King II or Finding Nemo for the 40th time?" I would say they're familiar with the characters, but aren't particularly big fans of them. Winnie The Pooh probably ranks higher with them.<BR>
