   Peter Billingsley indeed did play Ralphie in both movies, but most of us think of the original “Christmas Story” and McGavin, and not the more modern remake where Billingsley played the grown up Ralphie in “A Christmas Story Christmas” I vaguely remember seeing the remake; it just wasn’t very memorable. I really admired the original stories, I’ll have to look up the sequel and see if it is as I remember it.

   Gent, perhaps you’ve not seen the American movie “A Christmas Story” a memoir written by Jean Shepherd and starring Darren McGavin. It’s a classic, and really funny as it’s full of 40’s and 50’s nostalgia. One of the mini plots in the story was about the time the kid saved up for months for a secret decoder ring, quite popular back then. To his great disappointment the “secret message” was only an advert to drink Ovaltine, a chocolaty drink, with no caffeine.

   I’m not at all surprised.

   I am glad I saw that Christmas movie with the leg lamp; otherwise I wouldn’t know that li’l Orphant Annie wanted me to “Drink my Ovaltine”. I was a kid back then but didn’t have the patience to save all the box tops or whatever to get the secret decoder ring!

    The “apology” at the bottom of panel 3 seals it. George Herriman was one of the first cartoonists of African descent, although because of the obvious prejudice at the time, this son of Creole parents chose to “pass” as white, as did his siblings.His Krazy Kat character fell in love with a mouse called Ignatz, who to the opportunity to throw bricks at him at any opportunity, which never stopped Krazy!Anyway, I remember reading the cartoons in the late 40’s and early 50’s, although they must have been reprints, because he died in 1944.
