Grew up reading Phantom comics, what ever happened to them?

They still exist, out fortnightly in newsagents, and I think Coles or Woolies, or from Frew. Phantom sells more than any other comic book in Australia.

I'll have to look out for them, haven't been in a Newsagent for about 10 years, actually I can't even think of where one is...

My favourite all-time bat I played with.

I remember as a kid, going on holiday, up and down the east coast of Australia, EVERY tourist gift shop, would be selling this collection of swizzle sticks, for some unknown reason. It would be enough to leave today's generation of perpetually offended beta-male soyboys and blue haired land-whales, permanently damaged and triggered into a state of "literally shaking". But, at the time, gave some amusement to sniggering schoolboys, many dads, and the occasional mum. Still not sure what it had to do with promoting tourism, in whatever fishing port, pineapple or banana growing region, or surfing town that was selling them. Despite my best efforts at the time, my parents would never let me have any - lol. Just as well these days, I guess.

I don't remember these at all. Maybe they were banned in Qld lol. Imagine how triggered they would make peeps these days. Perky, Spiffy, Droopy f'en lol. News.com would have a field day.
