Random meandering… The entertainment writers are analyzing Disney’s overuse of the same superheroes, which worked for a while but finally went flat. Supposedly every boy read comics about superheroes. I didn’t. Never interested in role models or heroes.
I did read Disney and Lantz comics, Mickey and Donald and Woody, until about age 9. Then I switched to car magazines, electronics magazines, and scifi stories.
If somebody made a movie about Tom McCahill or Fletcher Pratt, I might be interested. Both led INTERESTING lives. Tom was born rich and did the usual playboy things until his father lost it all in the ’29 crash. Then Tom had to take up writing. Pratt was born working-class then married money, and lived on or beyond the edge of the law both ways.
