How do you explain radiation burns to a child? I think sun burns are a pretty good analogy. If you're upwind of the blast and you hide behind a concrete wall, you'll be just fine.
Not sure what they were thinking about the newspaper...

That is a good point. I think some of the humor derives from the fact it is so dated and it was intended for children.
When my son was 1, he asked me what the sun was. I told him it was a very hot, yellow ball of fire exploding in space. Shortly thereafter, he learned to escape his crib. One early Saturday morning, he appeared in our bed. " Mama! Dada! Get up# Hot yewwo ball is up!!!!"
Lol! That is aweosme. I love hearing things from a kid's point of view.
I suppose a newspaper would do something for alpha particles as well.
