One of the strangest things to me when I was a kid, was reading the comics at my aunt's house. They lived in a different town, got a different newspaper, and the comics were different.

The big ones like Beetle Bailey, Garfield, Family Circus, they were all there. But some of the smaller ones were missing. And there were other comics I never heard of.

None of them were the same size or on the same pages. We had Peanuts on the front page. They got a tiny version of Hal and Lois. But the oddest thing is that some of the comics were in a vertical instead of horizontal format. Then my dad explained syndication and editors and all that stuff flew right over my 10 year old head
