This is a rare Roy Rogers first cover photo four – color Dell comic book, #38 – 1944, in good condition.

Dell Comics was the comic book publishing arm of Dell
Publishing, which got its start in pulp magazines.

Its first title was The Funnies (1929), described by the
Library of Congress as "a short-lived newspaper tabloid
insert" rather than a comic book. Comics historian Ron
Goulart (below) describes the 16-page, four-color,
newsprint periodical as "more a Sunday comic section

(FOXNEWS) – Aaron Rodgers’ time with the Green Bay Packers
appears to be over and following the path of his predecessor
Brett Favre is seemingly a part of the four-time NFL MVP’s
journey.

Rodgers will be traded to the New York Jets in a blockbuster
trade months in the making, according to multiple reports.

The full trade, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, is the Jets receiving
Rodgers, the 15th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and a 2023
fifth-round pick (No. 170) in exchange for the 13th overall pick
in the 2023 NFL Draft, a 2023 second-round pick (No. 42), a sixth
-round pick (No. 207) and a conditional 2024 second-round pick
that will become a first if Rodgers plays 65% of plays this season.

The Tinkertoy Construction Set is a toy for children. It was
designed in 1914—six years after the Frank Hornby‘s
Meccano sets—by Charles H. Pajeau, who formed the Toy
Tinker Company in Evanston, Illinois to manufacture them.
Pajeau, a stonemason, designed the toy after seeing children
play with sticks and empty spools of thread. Pajeau partnered
with Robert Pettit and Gordon Tinker to market a toy that would
allow and inspire children to use their imaginations. After an
initially-slow start, over a million were sold.
