It says

Landslides kill people and destroy homes, so why don't we have a national response plan?
 
Do you read magazines? If so, which ones? Do you buy them regularly, subscribe, or only read them in dentist waiting rooms?

What do you read them for and do you keep them or pass them along/recycle them?
no, do not read MAGAzines. hahahahah!!!!

16 Magazine started publication in 1955. Tiger Beat in 1965.

Imagine the possible value if you had copies of those in pristine condition.

Comic book classics can be worth hundreds of thousands of a first edition.

My family used to subscribe to the Listener, as it had the tv listings. In the olden days before tv, the only entertainment was radio, so that's why it was called the Listener, not the Viewer.

Anyway it came out every week and as far as I know is still being published, but its become a very lefty, scaremongering, baby booming anxiety ridden current affairs magazine. I'm like...I got enough to worry about without being assaulted by what could happen if the economy collapses etc. Plus we pretty much stopped watching regular tv when it all went digital/streaming anyway so it didn't matter what time the programs were on.

My neighbour subscribes to the TV Guide, which has only articles related to whats on TV, like the actual shows, and readers write in with their favourites and what the stars are up to, and what programs are airing and what they think will happen next. Its a mini-pub and also has puzzles and quizzes. I think if I were a tv junkie, and wanted something fun to read, and not get my listings from the newspaper, or other magazines, I'd just buy that one.
Still published. And now,in large print edition.
Started publishing in 1922.

That reminds me, I used to read True Detective (UK version). It was my favorite magazine for a while, but they stopped printing it. And years before they stopped printing it, any store near me had stopped selling it. I still have copies of it though.
 
Readers Digest were always sending us sweepstakes competitions, trying to get us to enter, but we never won anything. It was just we had the chance to go in the draw...!

And they did this for YEARS even when we didn't buy any of the magazines. My dad got sucked into buying the Condensed Books which we didn't read, but they sometimes had good non-fiction fact books. Like real ones not condensed ones.

I have Household Hints and Handy Tips. The Reader's Digest Book of Facts. and a few others.

speaking of sweepstakes, i won $1, $5 & $10 dollars in 3 sweepstakes draws. i thought the $1 & $2 prizes were lower than a pregnant whale so i never cashed them.
 
Which ones are the funniest?
i don't know, i don't deal in the funny comics. i deal in superhero, key, golden & silver age, horror, science, etc. around here it's not favorable too much. if i found a valuable funny comic, i wouldn't pass on it.
 
Garfield magazine

It was my favourite, and my Dad always bought me a copy every month they came out. They were in full colour, and the centrefold was always a poster I could take out and put on my wall.

I was always three months behind though, cos that's how long they took to ship it to NZ from the UK.

I don't know why Garfield magazine was published in the UK though by Ravette instead of Ballentynes, which is Garfield's US publisher.

He had Universal Syndication.
