Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 30, 2018

Did not use credit cards back then.

Is that a calculator? What year was that?

Hey, you forgot the leap year!

For some reason, I didn’t think of deficit spending before Reagan, but this is from 1972, when Nixon was president. Was this intended as a jab on him?

This is the weirdest and the funniest strip ever. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Originally it was until 1977 for this original run strip, today it would be until 2023.

A comic ahead of its time.

CB, take a hint, give him more every night

Well, I guess that explains my problem – deficit eating. Up till now I thought I was like Garfield – undertall.

Snoopy, defecit eating like deficit spending, eventually catches up with you!

How about that? I didn’t know Snoopy was a politician.

My dad used to service adding machines for NCR back then. He always thought they were poorly designed but did not have the self confidence to suggest design improvements.

I wonder if Charlie Brown also knows about second breakfast, elevensies, and even afternoon tea…

Actually it’s an adding machine. From the sixties.

RESOLUTION NO. 88. Eat more today for tomorrow may never come.

I agree with Snoopy. Actually Charlie Brown will too.

No more than deficit spending.

Ever think about increasing his rations?
