Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for November 16, 2020

The reason why the government issued “Warning: Choking Hazard” labels.

Back in the days of cardboard stoppers…

They would have been perfect for me: when I was little, I had a slight form of pica

Foiled again…..

Linus was always the chew-sy type!

We won’t mention the fact that the blanket USED to be blue… ;-)

When was the last time anyone saw a glass milk bottle?

“Bright red”? Didn’t they achieve that back in the 50s by using lead in paint? ;-)

I forgot Linus was basically a baby when the strip began. He grew up a lot compared to the other characters. (Just started following Peanuts Begins last week, it’s fun!)

Milk bottle?

Our bottles had a constriction a few inches from the top where the cream separated. The dairy supplied a tool you insert to the constriction and pour off the cream if you wanted cream.

And in winter the milk would freeze and stick an inch or so out of the bottle.

The perfect teething ring.

Our house used to have that little door by the backdoor, opened into a little box, built into the exterior wall. The milkman would put the milk in from outside and we’d open it from the little door on the inside.
