3.0
Ok ok ok ok. I read through the first 100 pages or so, but GOLLY, is this comic repetitive. Good thing kids like repetition. Fun stroll down memory lane, though, and amusing...for better or worse, which is why I'm bumping it up to 3 stars. Casper's a sweet guy, just wants to make friends, and I liked all the classic "AIEEEE!" moments of other characters getting spooked by our little friendly ghost. Then there were at least two comics where he tried to kill himself because he couldn't make friends. And the one with a Mexican bullfight that mixed Spanish words with a French accent. And an "Eskimo" scene with a totem pole (I'm pretty sure totem poles don't figure into Native cultures that far north?). And all the problems inherent with all that. Ah, the '50s.

Counting as my Golden Age comic (the text specifies that the comics in Part I fall under the Golden Age category) for the Panels Read Harder challenge.
