I grew up playing most of the street games Fat Albert played. Yes those were real games (Buck-Buck, Steal the Bacon, Skelly, Ringolivo (sic), Stickball (no sandlots in the city), RCK (kudos to those who knows what this stands for)
I also enjoyed the classic commercials.
Over the years I have been able to introduce young boys to comics with mixed results. Two of my nephews are interested, only if I keep buying them and there is nothing else to do. They are into the Halo and riding their skateboards (they are sponsored so I guess they are good). Comics require patience, if read them monthly and especially if you read trades.
Unfortunately, two other boys gave a ton of books passed before the age of 18
