They show up on eBay from time to time.

Condition matters, and the year matters. The 1940 one like the one in the movie brings a premium.

....and have decoded that very message on Saturday Mornings in front of the Black& White TV. Captain Midnight (sponsored by Ovaltine) came on right before Sky King (brought to you by Nabisco).

MY brothers and I thought we could FLY like the kids on TV if we ate enough Sugar Jets and tied a bath towel around our necks.
And you know something,
We DID!!!

... wasn't it Iccky or something? For Iccabod Mudd?

As I remember, Captain Midnight morphed into Jed Jackson for some strange reason. Do I remember that right?
