Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for February 03, 2023

You tinkered yourself into it, Linus, you can un-tinker yourself out.

Linus can blowup square balloons. So he’s smart enough to get himself out of this.

This is another one that I read in a Peanuts paperback.

Do they still make Tinker Toys? I loved them. And back then, they were made from WOOD.

Your square balloons won’t help you now, buddy.

I hope he doesn’t want to be a plumber.

Linus is so cute.

Is this the first time we’ve heard Linus speak?

Tinker toys, Lincoln Logs and an Erector Set were an essential part of growing up in the early 60s!

I’m surprised that Tinkertoys and Erector Sets aren’t still around. I remember them being a lot of fun.

I had a Tinker Toy set when I was young. I liked making a turning spinning wheel like in Sleeping Beauty, complete with spindle. It was neat.

It could be worse, Linus – you could be working with plumbing (as Jerome Howard did back in the ’30s).

Good boy, now deconstruct what you’ve built….

I’m reminded of the Star Trek (TOS) episode The Tholian Web.

A machine to play Tic-Tac-Toe was constructed mostly from Tinker Toys. http://constructingmodernknowledge.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/TinkerToy-Computer-Dewdney-article.pdf

Like painting yourself in a corner.

If it can fly it’s not a problem.

Another fine mess I got myself into…..

One Christmas I thought a present for me was tinker toys cause the container was shaped like this. Turned out to be some Planters cheez balls.

Reminds me of an episode of Emergency!.

No Lego’s in those days…

NOT RIGHT – you can still get them made from wood – just got several sets for our grandchildren.
