Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 19, 2020

whoops

Especially not the Sunday edition!

I had one ‘loose’ aluminum door I always loved to hit with my paper when I was a paper boy. I could always fold our paper to a square and throw it like a Frisbee as I whisked by on my bike… and it was my goal to time my throw and figure out the correct angle and – POW – nail that door. The bang was great.

Back when I was in Junior High, I had an afternoon paper route. Nowadays, they, the newspaper company, have senior citizen type people delivering the paper at 4:00 am.. I guess with changing the paper to a morning paper, they wanted to not let teenagers have a chance at a good part-time job that required them to show personal responsibility. A good trait for entering the adult world

Reminds me of how Arnold the paper boy would always hit Fred Flintstone with the newspaper. Of course that was worse because it printed on stone tablets.

Better luck nest time, Woodstock!

I had an early morning paper route. I walked the 3 streets, folding the papers into a shape I could toss onto front porches. There were a few duplex homes on my route. A couple times, in an effort to throw the paper on the porch of the upper residence, the paper wound up on the roof. There were also people who wanted their paper delivered in between the storm/inner doors (which I hated, since it slowed me down, but I usually at least got some kind of tip from those customers). The Sunday edition was always huge, and had to be assembled from several sections prior to hauling the papers out in my wagon, which I pulled up the streets. Those took a long time to deliver, as each one had to be walked up onto the porch and placed under the door mat, to keep it from blowing away. (God help me if I didn’t, and a wind came along and scattered the paper all over the neighborhood … my home would get phone calls for hours after such an accident).

Woodstock might want to look for a little birdie edition!

What is this newspaper they talk about? Is it anything like the stone tablets they used in ancient Sumeria?

Home? The poor bird now has no home to deliver to!

INCOMING!!!!!!!

Our daily paper wouldn’t hurt a fly if it landed on it.

the sunday paper might kill him

The newspaper is HIS home

Maybe they should throw it at his tree instead.

And, when newsprint has become something you research in libraries, Woodstock will have to get online … ;)

Ah, so they moved this strip to today so they could run last Sunday’s for Easter. They flipped the order the two ran back in ’73.

It’s a new rug for the cage.

The paper reporters are famous for ruining houses.
