You know ... you reach a certain age and you see something mentioned somewhere and ... boom! ... all of a sudden, your childhood memories are released from wherever they were in storage and you recall all kinds of good times spent doing something ... in my case, reading about the world created by Richard Scarry.
Because, yes, although a wiki search today informed me that Busytown graduated into other mediums in later years (and, apparently got PC-ified as well [PC as in politically correct and not personal computer {I'm not talking about the removal of confederate flags .. but references to cowboys and Indians and the like were modified}]) ... when I lived vicariously in Busytown it was through the page.
That which is no doubt the reason, especially combined with my Avon-influenced affinity for all things Sweet Pickles, that I regularly talk to animals I've anthropomorphized, you are missed!
