I thought this was really cool.

80% of contributions to Obama are $35 or less. I wonder what it's like for Romney.

Also, I may have underestimated how much my mom is into Marvel now...

She just gave me a countdown that in 12 hours, we will be watching The Amazing Spider-Man and that she expects me to be ready in 11 hours...

First, she's the one to suggest hitting up a comic book store, now this...

I think her training is complete. Short of actually reading a comic, there is no more I can do for her.

80% percent of Obama's contributors are probably the working middle class, you know we teachers, police officer, fire fighters, and public health workers Romney doesn't think the nation needs.

I wonder if your Mum is my age--I grew up with Marvel when Marvel cartoons, (and Mattel toys) began to take over the Saturday Morning Looney toons spots.

My mom was 12 when Barbie came out, 15 when the first issue of The Avengers was published and remembers when ALL tv was black and white. She grew up on Archie comics.

However, you do sound like you are probably closer to my brothers' ages. They were just 3 and 4 when they first saw Star Wars in the theatre and that's when they had Super Friends and stuff. At six months, I was too young to see ROTJ when it was released but I played with all their toys.

I wasn't an Avenger Fan but I was 14 and in High School when Star Trek the original aired, and graduated high school a month before the Moon shot. We didn't get a color television until the year before I graduated. I was shocked to discover that the second Peter Cushing movie was in color because I watched in black and white on Canadian television.

I was in college when Jaws debuted, and I took my kids to see Star Wars.
But I recall Spider man on television whe I was in high school.

Ah okay, that Spider-Man series. The way you talked about Saturday morning being taken over by Marvel and such, it made it sound like the late 70s, early 80s.

My mom was born a few months before the Roswell incident and graduated around the time of the first Space Walk so she's about four years or so older than you.
