Street Kids #1 (By Ken)

Strip #1

Situation - Herschel is walking down the street with his "Red Flyer" wagon, filled with bottles, on his way to "Harry's" candy store. Harry buys empty bottles back, 2 cents each for small bottles and 5 cents each for large bottles. Buzzy is play "wall-ball", but stops to talk with Herschel. Buzzy is warning Herschel about "Big Billy" who is roaming the neighborhood looking to spoil someone's day.

Dialogue - Herschel says to Buzzy, "I can't go too fast or I'll break my bottles and they won't be worth nothin'! Buzzy suggests: "cover the bottles with your jacket so Big Billy can't see what you got! Great idea Buzzy!" So Herschel covers the bottles just as Big Billy comes around the corner, and he asks Herschel, "whatcha got in your wagon?" "Oh, nothin', just some old magazines." "Magazines?", says Big Billy. How come they're rattlin' around like glass bottles?" "Cause the magazines have pictures of glass bottles in them, silly". "Oh, no wonder. See you later Herschel".
