This Week’s Cover
- Grandpa, who began amassing stamps back around 50 B.T. (Before Television), now is inculcating Sonnyboy with this timeless fascination. If the rest of the folks are spending the restful winter evening worrying about murder, professional fisticuffs and other tension on the air waves, let ’em. Sonnyboy, a thoughtful lad, soon will catch on that the way to get somewhere fast is to outwit grandpa with some cagey trades. Grandpa, going along with this outrage, will be secretly tickled, for how do you suppose the old cutie, through the years, got his hoard? Incidentally, the only things artist Dohanos collects are autographed brushes which have been used by fellow canvas addicts to make paintings. Other people collect the paintings.
