Just for the record: A little bit more history[edit]

Just for the record, The last archived issue (April 2019) of Kids' Corner is available here, see also final archived version of Playthings here). The section is renamed Kids as early as June 2019 (see here) and the archives can be seen to overlap with the last issues of Kids' Corner. The current version of Playthings (if it can be identified as such) would be here. Not sure if that should be included in the article, but just for the record... -Thibbs (talk) 19:56, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to change the phrasing of the past-tensing, I'm likely fine with it... but as it no longer has the name of Playthings, the format of a magazine, or the particular focus of that magazine, so this is at most something that is the legacy of that, rather than being that. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:03, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I mean it becomes a Ship of Theseus question at this point. When does the original ship (magazine) stop being the ship (magazine), right? I think the name "Playthings" is a good way to understand the original magazine and I think it basically becomes a past-tense institution in May 2017. This thread was just for those who were still curious. :) -Thibbs (talk) 20:35, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
