Dear Amy: After our teen years, my brother and I became close.

This weekend’s Fort Lauderdale Air Show is like last weekend’s Miami Grand Prix — just faster, louder, and you can be certain an American will win this time.
Featuring the U. S. Air Force Thunderbirds back as headliners and the debut of the Ghost Squadron, the annual air show returns on Saturday and Sunday to fill the heavens with sonic rumbles and arcing contrails as hundreds of thousands of spectators scan the sky over the beach in Fort Lauderdale.

I first became interested in newspapers at age 9 when my family lived in Chicago. Back then, major publishers had their Sunday editions on the street Saturday evening. After Saturday supper, my Dad and I would walk down to the nearest newsstand and return with three Sunday papers; the Tribune, the Sun-Times, and the Daily News.
They were all so huge, it took two of us to carry three papers.
At home, I pulled the comics sections out of all three, and read them while laying on my stomach on the floor and listening to the radio with one ear: Jack Benny, Allen’s Alley, The Bickersons, Duffy’s Tavern, The Shadow and more.
One day I discovered that one-panel comics were scattered throughout the rest of the paper.
