Figure 1.--Parque Rivadavia is a park in Buenos Aires. The park was particularly popular with boys. On Sundays afternoon boys would gather there to exchange, sale or just look for comic magazines. Girls weren't all that intereted in comics, but boys loved them. I remember how muh I liked them. I liked Disney Superman comics. By brother liked war comics. This was the case in other countries as well. We see boys wearing quite a variety of clothes.

Parque Rivadavia is a park in Buenos Aires. The view of the park we have here is undated. An Argentine reader dates it to 1965-67. We visited Argntina and Buenos Aires in 1968 and we did not see many boys wearing short pants. We would date it a little earlier. the early-60s or late 50s. Bit as we tend to give greater crrednc to our country contrinutors will archive it in the 60s. The park was particularly popular with boys.

Boys in contrast loved them. I remember how much I enjoyed them. I liked Disney Superman comics. By vrother like war comics. This was the case in other countries as well. We see boys wearing quite a variety of clothes. Some of the boys are dressed up and wearing ties and jackets, maybe the school uniform. We see short pants and knee socks. Some of the boys are dressed more informally, but no one is wearing sneakers or jeans.
