I loved the Hardy Boys as a kid. It's just a beautiful thing you held onto to your own mystery books.

I wrote a series of littlr comics (even though I was a pretty lousy illustrator) when I was in grade school called The Adventures of Dr. Maums. I distributed them to classmates whether they wanted them or not. I wish I still had them. I loved seeing yours.

Dr. Maums bore a striking resemblance to Cousin It. Even down to the glasses. And, like AI, I couldn't draw hands, so his hands looked like mittens.
