No..No other NYC mayor has been able to read the funnies on the radio or on tv to the kids during a NYC newspaper strike like Laguardia.

LaGuardia is reading the Sunday comics of the NY Daily News. The Daily News was a Hearst paper which published their Sunday comics ahead of time so that you could pick them up at the newstand to find out what Dick Tracy was doing. I have heard the complete recording on this on "I Can Hear It Now," where he chides Police Commissioner Valentine on the NYC police being overweight. This clip shows the reactions of the kids as they listen to the radio. Truly great nostalgia.

Many people did not know that he grew up in Prescott Arizona while his father was stationed at Fort Whipple.

That is SO COOL for the mayor to take time to entertain children like that! I can't imagine Michael Bloomberg reading comics over the radio! LOL

@quirpco If I was NYC mayor I'd read the comics on the radio if I had to! :)

Varför läser han serierna? En nation av dumskallar redan då eller heter ..det som böjes i tid ska dumskallar förbli.

@Siriussupporter Varför läser han serierna? En nation av dumskallar redan då eller heter ..det som böjes i tid ska dumskallar förbli. Han läser serier därför att det fanns en tidning strejk vid den tiden, och borgmästaren i New York gjorde det för barnen, som inte kunde läsa söndag serier medan tidningen inte levereras.

"and say children, what does it all mean?"
The classic sample used on such songs as De La souls "3 is the magic number".

I think your comment tells us more about the household you grew up in (seems it was infused with closeness, honesty and integrity) than any particular historical moment.
Peace.

@julichvyasdi - the times were not any more honest or noble than they are today. it's only that sometimes an upstanding figure appears who cuts through it all and shines. laguardia was one of them. (today he'd be vilified on FOX)
