The CRACKED Mazagine was a nice touch.

Loved CRACKED and MAD magazines ever since I was a kid.... always felt they were underrated, but if you brought one of these to class you were a hero for sure!

Grew up in the 70s/80s. What I remember about the 70s was saving up my allowence money to buy those Scholastic books from the catalog our teachers let us look through. Also pencil cases. And oh boy did I feel grown up when in 6th grade we were given pens to write with instead of pencils. Lunchboxes were metal, I think I was brown bagging it by the time the more durable plastic ones came along.

From 6th grade on I wore a uniform so I missed out on all the back to school clothes.

I had a Trapper Keeper for every new school year in the 80s. I felt so organized when I got to pick out a new one.

Unless it was taking those insipid ACT/SAT tests, I don't think I've used a pencil in 40 years.
