Don't worry. They're comics; and they're printed on newsprint... which
means they will disintigrate in a few decades. And there's nothing he can
do about it because that's the nature of wood pulp paper. Unless, of
course, he digitizes them... Then, while you might not be able to fondle
them, at least you can see them and confuse the kids.

Why was I not surprised to see YOU be the first to reply, Hiram?
And the real reason no one is "allowed" to get near them is because
you've HIDDEN them in a place we haven't found yet. Just wait until
next Spring cleaning....

AND GET YOUR COTTON-PICKIN' EYEBALLS OUT OF THE PUSSYCAT THEATER! The
dinner dishes are waiting for you in the sink. And they won't clean
themselves, buddy!
