Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for June 12, 2015

This one actually just blew my mind.

My, what small brains these kids have.

Good thing he didn’t buy wrapping paper.

They don’t wrap things anymore, anyway. I remember growing up in the 60s all the fuss about not using paper, saving the trees etc. Then along came the plastic bags. A few years ago there was a huge fuss about them being non-biodegradable, etc. and supposedly they were banned in Europe. Funny, we still see them everywhere. I usually carry my own shopping bags, and people in shops still put things in plastic bags and hand them over, even when I say not to.

Puting the wrapping paper in the wastebasket was long before you would remember to recycle wrapping paper putting it in a recycling bin.

I would never be able to get my waist inside that little basket…

From one of Lily Tomlin’s routines: “I bought a wastebasket and took it home in a paper bag. When I got home, I threw the paper bag into the wastebasket.”

Wish I could post a photo of itI had a yellow Charlie Brown metal wastebasket back in 1966..ahhh memories

So what happened to the “old” wastebasket?

(Sighs) oh boy.
