...What you said, regarding   the different " 6Ts "...Myself, I tend to see it as " the 1960s " early on...then " Sixties " (maaaan ) once we get to fifty-years-ago this year or so.
  The thing is, I sorta recall, as someone whose parents had our area's local paper wbich carried Archie home-delivered when Montana was alive and (already a comic fan) read it there...I think the strip, at the turn of the Seventies, tended to feature frequently featued jokes from an " older generation " perspective that rather PUT DOWN things associated with " the younger generation "!   As did many newspaper strips then, aimed at the older folks who bought the newspaper (and the feature editors at thd papers who keep the gates), after all...I think that, when Doonesbury (With it originally being about Mike and company being college students who were (mostly) in " the movement ".) came along in 1970 or so it was rather a different thing! (This was maybe more a suggestion of someone else who said this, I don't REALLY remember umpty-ump daily strips that I read back when Richard Nixon was President!!... ) I was there so I don't remember the Sixties!

...I had a real-world " Oh, come on! " problem (Possible acronym: OCO?) with the continued story in YPA#1...........Sixteen-year-olds are not allowed to play the lottery! Period. Therefore, the way the story will work out is extremely telegraphed - Except that you'll wonder why the lottery people let Archie temporarily have the money, then, as the " Coming Up " page said they would. Okay, MAYBE they' ll work it out differemtly (uh huh) .. .
  As it happens, IIRC I obtained YPA about?? the same time that there was a story in the news about just this...A man had won the lottery but the lottery was denying him it as the ticket had been physically bought by his teenage son when he sent the son to the store to buy him some other stuff and a ticket (Obviously, the clerk slipped .)...

...A historical point - Archie certainly made the digest format their own , but two former comics companies , Gold Key/Whitman/Western and Fawcett , had decent success with digests around the turn of the Seventies , years before I bought both Archie Comics Digest #1 and Jughead With Archie...(etc.) #1 off of the stands (at Plaza Discount in Pleasantville , NY , IIRC) .

^ i went to the Target in San Francisco when i was on vacation. I liked it but i was surprised that i had to pay $0.05 for a plastic bag. I figured the reason for not having a Walmart was the same as for NYC where I am from, cause it hurts smaller businessesbor something like that. I could be wrong.


However, I never seen so many Walgreens in my life until I went to San Francisco

It's called Commiefornia for a reason.  Don't worry, everyone in San Francisco is either as rich as sin or a homeless bum that is living an above middle class lifestyle.  When you're as rich as sin you can be concerned with things like insuring that every homeless bum has free housing and owns a Chihuahua (yes they actually get free Chihuahuas, I wonder why so many homeless go there, could there be some kind of connection?).

QuoteWhile you were in San Francisco did the new soda tax kick in yet?

Anyone who supports this kind of soda tax should be thrown into the Boston Harbor by people dressed as Native Americans.  Of course, since California is trying to secede from the United States now, they probably no longer consider their sevles Americans.

....DeCarlo , I  meant trying  to get two days of work out of the reporters , especially !!!
  I believe I am considerably older than you , my parents were both in the newspaper business , I like to thinnk , nyway , that I know a bit about the newspaper biz from myy outsider,s perspective...I did not meann what I guess you thhiink I meant by what I wrote !

Then I REALLY don't understand what you mean. There are seven days in a week. There is news on every one of those days, and a newspaper is printed every single day of the week to report that news, so that means seven days of reporting. That doesn't mean all reporters have to work seven days, because newspapers employ several reporters, and they all get paid for whatever days they're working on a story (or by the story, I'm not sure... it's quite possible that some of them are freelancers as opposed to hourly or salaried employees). It's also possible that there may be some news stories in the Sunday paper which are the same stories printed in an earlier daily edition (that would depend on timeliness and whether it was considered a story of ongoing interest) -- and some of those may not be word-for-word reprints, but rewritten by people who do just that but do not actually do any reporting, they simply use the same facts that the original reporter collected.

I see nothing the least bit unusual about this. Maybe it might appear that way to people with a mindset that tells them that a "normal" employee works only 5 days a week, Monday through Friday, and then goes home to relax over the weekend. That obviously doesn't apply to the newspaper business, because the news never stops. It's round-the-clock, 24/7, just like the police, fire department, 24-hour security, and many other businesses and public services. All I know is that there are seven days in a week and seven newspapers (at least seven - some cities have both a morning and evening edition Monday through Friday), so where does "two days for one" come from? There isn't a single hour of the day on any day of the week that someone connected to the newspaper business isn't working. And they have labor unions (like The Newspaper Guild) to protect their rights as employees, too. Don't be too sure that you're considerably older than me.
