This was a promotional comic from Borden's dairy staring their mascot Elsie the Cow. It contains 16 pages of "Space-Fun, Games, Puzzles, Cut-Outs." Their is not much story but it was illustrated well. I choose to included the whole comic for your pleasure.

Happy New Year's! I picked up a set of My Weekly Reader so I thought I would share some with you as I have a chance to scan them. Some of these are from My Weekly Reader Picture Reader. This was the version for 1st graders. The next is from the My Weekly reader Summer Cruise. This was for older children.
The article is not about imaginary flying saucers but rather how the military is developing their own. Hope you enjoyed some bits of what children saw while they were in school.
Happy holidays and Merry Christmas! I am doing this post back in June 2025 so I am hoping the world is a happier and safer place in December 2025. It has been a little while since I found a book worth of a Christmas post. This one does not have a lot of spaceships or rockets. It was a giveaway at Ben Franklin Dept. stores.
It is the story of a Martian who wants to find out what Christmas is and research if they might want to export it to Mars. It is only an OK story but an old theme. It seems like "Mars Needs Holidays!" since I have heard many stories like this.
Including of course the famous movie "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians." (1964). So your Christmas present this year is this free movie:
