spike and suzy

Hahaha, I never knew they were called Spike and Suzy in English. I've always known them as "Suske en Wiske", or even as "Bob et Bobette". I could tell a thousand anecdotes about Spike and Suzy, they are such an important part of my cultural heritage. Piffin even learned to read by consuming a full meter of Spike and Suzy albums. This was in grade three, as her teachers were becoming quite desperate about her reading abilities. She took dozens of them to and from school in a cart, and had half the school population reading during breaks. I guess she needed an audience for learning to read. In 1964 my brothers assembled their own album, by cutting the daily episodes from the newspaper. I remember my father's rage when they did this before he had read the paper. Here's a page with my brother's birthday date on it. What would they have said if they had known their little sister would be able to just put their album in a scanner? I really should make a facsimile version, the original paper has decayed badly.
