My father would bring me home comic books from time to time. My favourites were the Harvey collection. Back then they were a mere 12 cents each. Here is a photo of a Harvey comic.
I loved to read them...Little Dot, Little Audrey, Richie Rich, Lotta....those were the days.
My mother did the laundry back then in a wringer washer which looked something like this...
In later years she had a washer like this one...
I got my first radio for my eighth grade graduation. It could run on batteries or plug in to the wall. I remember taking it to the beach and feeling so cool as I laid on my beach towel listening to my radio. I loved comic books too. I loved all of those you listed plus the Archie comic books and Superman. We had an old wringer washer and I remember my mom letting me very carefully feed the clothes through the wringer. She was delighted when she got a new washer and really delighted when she got her first dryer. I was too. I wasn't overly fond of hanging clothes on the line,especially in the winter!
