    That’s pretty reckless, Red. Back then ( in the 1960s), a penny could actually buy you bubble gum.

    Yesterday in line for an outside burger place window in Bellevue, Washington, someone dropped a Canadian loony. I thought at first it could be a Sacajawea dollar, but a loony makes more sense, even in another country. (SOME country’s dollar coins didn’t catch on. I won’t name names.)

    I thought today’s strip was familar. I looked at its date and I see it is a reprint from 2020.

    But wouldn’t the penny cancel out the crack? I think Red should have kept it!

    When I was a little kid my older sister told me the myth about cracks and it made me paranoid for years.

    Back in the day when we believed that if you dropped a penny from the roof of a tall building it would pick up enough speed to kill someone.

    I still pick up pennies. They are mostly zinc these days and that’s can really mess up a critter’s stomach.

    That penny can become a projectile on lawn mowing day.

    Why do we still have pennies? They are a meaningless denomination of money.

    since my daughter and I played that game together we decided on a different story. We pretended that if someone stepped on a crack the earth would open up and take you down to live in the kingdom of worms.

    That reminds me of a little poem I wrote when I was about 8: “See a penny/Pick it up/ And all the day long your back’ll act up.” It was going to be part of a collection called “Nursery Rhymes for Old People”.
