I wouldn't have thought of it, but once someone else did I understood the reference instantly.

Of course, I grew up reading it done by Messick.

How long ago? Ramona Fradon ghosted it for quite a while - hmmm - after Messick retired, Fradon did it 1980 - 95, i see.

I know I read it before 1980, and it wasn't new then.

I think I largely quit reading it about 1983-1984 because it was harder to access in college.

And Ken.

However, we have no evidence that Nadette's family includes any lawyers. Possibly they were disbeared.
