Salad Days
Animal Antics #6, January 1947. Detective Comics.
Oh,
and urine or lemon juice works just fine for secret writing. In 1951,
the company's top-of-the-line "Chemcraft Master Laboratory" set retailed
for $27.50 (equivalent to $287 in 2021) and contained, among other
things, radioactive uranium ore. I had one of these c. 1966,
unfortunately my pet rabbit Billy set fire to a sink and blew a large
hole through the garage wall after mixing powdered sugar and aluminum
dust with ammonium nitrate next to a lit alcohol lamp. Billy vanished
before dad showed up and I believe that everyone thinks I lied about
that, I lied all the time but that particular explosion and subsequent
house fire was my bunny's fault, it really was. I got spanked and sent
to bed without dinner and somewhere we still have a letter from the
Marine Corps stating it was very patriotic of my dad to volunteer my
services for defusing mines around Đồng Nai Province but that I was too
young, he should try again when I reached 10 or so.
That was before recruitment standards loosened up.
