Hi, Opal! no:) [sub]Yes, I’m fully aware that lots of people have gone that extra mile with “hi, Opal”, to the extent that they have seventy-billion things and #3 is “hi, Opal”, but it isn’t required. vB code will NOT self-destruct if you don’t have a “hi, Opal” in your list.[/sub] ---

I’ve been a fan of Dandy Don since the seventies, **pesch**. I’ve already got “Comics and Stories #1”, but I lost my only copy of the “Captain Kentucky” collection six years ago. Most comic store owners have never even heard of it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-survive-on-the-sdmb/109777.md?page=1)
