    I think a carved munchkin pumpkin would be very cute!

    Were dogs actually thinking the word “ginormous” back in the 60s/70s? I was under the impression it was only more recently that it came into widespread use, at least among humans.

    Ah, Piggly Wiggly, where the deli stuff was always fresh and great. We’re talking 1977 or so. Wonder how many readers know/knew what the term meant in the strip?

    Piggly Wiggly® was the FIRST to…

    - Provide checkout stands.- Price mark every item in the store.- Give shoppers more for their food dollar through high volume/low profit margin retailing.- Feature a full line of nationally advertised brands.- Use refrigerated cases to keep produce fresher longer.- Put employees in uniforms for cleaner, more sanitary food handling.- Design and use patented fixtures and equipment throughout the store.- Franchise independent grocers to operate under the self-service method of food merchandising.Wonder how supermarkets would be today if there wasn’t a Piggly Wiggly® ..
