Comic Strips

Never read bunnicula, but when I was a kid I was a late reader, especially compared to my family. My mom was 3 when she learned, my brother was 4. I was 7. But once I picked it up, I loved reading, and my neighborhood had a little local library. By the time I was 9 I had gone through all the books in the kids section, and the librarian let me go pick whatever I wanted from the grown up section. I went from reading to stave off boredom to devouring books, because I felt like I had choice. I could choose whatever stories I wanted to read. Like a fucking nerd I chose Shakespeare and a book on mythology, but still. It was the most incredible feeling.

Same! I distinctly remember seeing it at like kindergarten or first grade book fair and going "oh there's no way I won't enjoy this" lol. I ate that shit UP, was going around all week to any 6yos who'd listen like "Dude Bunnicula is SO GOOD go get it before the fair's over for real". Except using whatever words I'd have chosen in, like, 1992.
