Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for July 13, 2016

No rubber bands or plastic bags back then?

Well THAT was unexpected XD

It’s a good thing the wind wasn’t blowing too hard. Paper cuts aren’t a pretty thing.

I was a paper boy in the 1960’s and throwing tucked papers is a skill to master, sometimes I didn’t!

Throws a paper as good as he pitches

Na. That only happens when there’s a flooded street between you and the customer and he says, “Go ahead, throw it!”

The same results as in the arcade game.

That was pretty mean. Couldn’t he at least have helped pick up some of the papers instead of walking away whistling?

The second part of this arc will be when Charlie Brown comes around Patty’s house at the end of the month to collect and she pays him by throwing nickels and dimes toward him.

Well, it SHOULD, anyway…

Charlie Brown sold Grit newspapers for the prizes. He always chose a kite, which promptly got eaten by that kite-eating tree. So, Charlie Brown had to sell more Grits to get another kite. It was a never ending cycle.

A cartoon character just did something illogical! I must explain to the universe what he should have done right.

Looks like his papers were rolled, not folded and tucked

Not that many pages anymore.

I delivered the Denver Post in 1942. They were banded. Too big to toss or fold. I had to deliver them to the door. I earned enough money to buy a used bike. Couldn’t use it to carry the papers to steep and even steep stairs. The bike cost $25 and I used until I moved to Calif.

Still take that over some of the local paper boys. Those kids are thieves.

There are no “paper boys” in most communities anymore. Sadly, it’s a dying art…
