Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 03, 2025

A homeless person’s home got left behind.

Oh the wild shopping cart, they are a rear sight as this creature has been very domesticated and mostly are in urban human environment. Some do try to escape, but have a hard time in the wild.

Sad story.

I don’t think there are any places like that anywhere anymore, Snoopy.

Sparky never doubted that he could draw very, very well. Panels like this help us remember.

You found the grill for your campfire

Shopping carts are everywhere. Just ask Julian Montague…

There was civilisation here or a thief Is here

Looks like Johnny Knoxville has passed through there already.

A shopping cart sitting out in the middle of nowhere. How little things have changed.

KEEP MARCHING!

Did Snoopy run across any graffiti saying KILROY WAS HERE?

He’s right….no civilization.

The story of how that shopping cart ended up there is more tragic and bloody than you can imagine.

More Grand theft shopping cart. Every time you see one abandoned somewhere just remember, you paid over a hundred dollars for it. The cost had to be built into the prices of what you bought.

Shopping carts turn up in all sorts of places.

“Has never trod?” What does TROD mean?

Just when you think you got away from civilization…

oh look, it’s a wild cart! :D

To boldly trod where no Beagle Scout has trodded before!

It’s the nearly extinct, rarely seen, Wild cart-a-saurous.

It’s rare to find a place never seen or spoiled by man. People leave their presence known it many disrespectful ways.

This comment is on the dark side.

My town was pretty much destroyed by industry leaving the country. It is now solidly in the Rust Belt, and, along with unemployment increasing, the number of homeless does, too.

Over the past few years as things continue to spiral downward, I see more and more carts abandoned nearly everywhere.

But not too far from civilization.

Now you can’t take them out of the parking lot before the wheels freeze up

Beyond civilization – sort of…

Leave it. Bubbles will pick it up later. (Obscure “Trailer Park Boys” reference.)

Somebody call Dill’s brother! A shopping cart is at risk!

beyond civilization, not beyond human infestation

Them things won’t roll through a parking lot with snow on it, so HOW did any one get it out THERE ??

They must be getting close to a homeless camp.

When you start seeing those, you’re not in a good part of town.

….and plastic bags hanging from the trees…

A far more common sight nowadays I fear.

On a hike to Walmart for dog biscuits and bird seed.

They do turn up in strange places sometimes.

Must be a Walmart nearby huh ? ;-)

Ah yes, the shopping cart. The larval form of the shopping plaza. Be careful Beagle Scouts, they can be dangerous when cornered.

(With high regards to Sir Terry Pratchett)

That one got away. Dill’s brother is slipping.

yes!

who knew there would be shopping carts beyond civilization

From the heights of over-traveled Everest to the depths of a trash-strewn Marianas Deeps, man’s mark is everywhere. And everyone expects someone else to clean it up.

Now, now! The presence of a shopping cart can easily be explained if there are bears in the area. Like Yogi!

Snoopy you are istill in civilization with. A shopping vart

Steel yourselves men, we still have a ways to go.

I used to ride the bike path from home to Griffith Park then back, last time I was in the area there were homeless people from the Los Feliz bike entrance for the next 1/2 mile. The shopping carts blocked the entrance so you cannot go through.
