This is why Commodore really failed

They didn't have their own branded kid-heros comic!

...which incredibly had crossover episodes into DC Superman comics!

Didn't do much good for Atari! Ha!


True! But then if you look closely the comics are the TANDY Whiz Kids!

Don't ask me why they're on an Atari site, 'cause I have no idea.

Commodore failed because it didn't promote its business with comic books?

I don't understand the premise.
It didn't work for Tandy, why would it have worked for Commodore?

Or am I just taking an ironic statement too literally?


Just a little levity. As for Tandy, they switched their name to RadioShack a while back so technically they're still around - thanks to their early 80s foray into comics no doubt!
