Printed as \"Your Favorite Family Restaurants\" issue #260 onward?). \r\n-Yoda's (Hand stamped, also printed? - Western Virginia, dates of operation unknown. Later would be merged with Lendy's to become Lendy's Yoda's. A sub-franchisee of Shoney's). \r\n\r\nKnown west: Abdow's; Bob's; Azar's; Eat 'n Park; Elias Brothers; JB's; Kips; Lendy's; Shoney's; and Tops. Others? \r\n\r\nKnown East: Azar's (as of 1962); Frisch's; and Manners. Others? \r\n\r\nA Yoda's hand-stamped version exists with the Lakeside Yoda's location stamp. This indicates that there are blank back cover variations where co-branding is not printed, thus allowing for the use of store stamps. Later in this series, these blank spaces might have been replaced by a generic printing \"Your Favorite Family Restaurants.\" \r\n\r\nThere is a known version in which the co-branding is replaced by ads, one known for the Bozo the Clown TV show on \"Channel 8\" in issue #183 (area unknown). \r\n\r\nElias Brothers' variation is known to have stopped between issues #374 and 379--any others? \r\n\r\nTowards the end, the back page becomes a menu, possible different franchises may have had different menus. The \"EL-US\" code on the back of the menu might refer to the Elias Brothers menu variant.", "issue_count": 563, "keywords": [], "created": "2004-08-23T00:00:00Z", "modified": "2026-07-09T23:18:17Z" }, { "id": 98686, "name": "The Adventures of the Born Loser", "sort_name": "Adventures of the Born Loser", "year_began": 1979, "year_ended": 1979, "country": "au", "language": "en", "publisher": { "id": 10371, "name": "Beaumont Book Co." }, "publication_type": "book", "color": "Colour Cover with black and white interior", "dimensions": "", "paper_stock": "", "binding": "Saddle-stitched", "publishing_format": "", "notes": "", "issue_count": 1, "keywords": [], "created": "2016-03-22T20:04:08Z", "modified": "2016-03-22T20:17:20Z" }, { "id": 14173, "name": "Adventures of the Dover Boys", "sort_name": "Adventures of the Dover Boys", "year_began": 1950, "year_ended": 1950, "country": "us", "language": "en", "publisher": { "id": 71, "name": "Archie" }, "publication_type": "magazine", "color": "color", "dimensions": "standard Silver Age U.
