Oddly Specific Accomplishment

A few days ago, I reached a goal I didn't even know I had: I read and understood a (Hebrew) Bazooka Joe comic.


I remember my frustration as a child that I couldn't even read the font of the Bazooka comics, let alone translate the jokes.

Recently, I bought a pack of Bazooka-flavored Must gum. Without thinking, I opened the box and read the back as I popped in my first piece of gum. I finished reading before I remembered that I couldn't understand it... And realized that actually, I could. I didn't even notice how weird the lettering is until I checked to see if it's the same font from when I was a kid. (It is.)

Luckily, it seems that I haven't been missing much.


Still, I've made good progress!
