The blond youngster is Mickey Braddock, who played the title character in the TV series Circus Boy, which this comic adapts. Mickey later went back to his natural hair color and his real last name, becoming even more famous as Micky Dolenz of the Monkees.

I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

Comic fans get the comics their buying habits deserve.

Well, they came to town
With their elephants and clowns
On a hot sticky August day
And every telephone pole
Had a poster that told
Of the thrills that were coming our way
There were trapeze fliers
And men that ate fire
And things we never dreamed existed
And the radio and TV
Told us we'd be
Fools if we dared to miss it.

A rodeo is sort of like a circus, right?
(I first thought of Wonder Woman at the Circus in Wonder Woman #1, but that only had a one-issue splash page. And Greg Hatcher took the first cover that I thought of.)
