Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for March 30, 2024

Can CB think of a better time?

Washing in the morning is even more of a waste of time, since you’ll just get dirty again.

When I was little, I stood on a kiddie footstool that read, “Wash hands and face, and do it well, when you step on this carousel.” And yes, there was a merry-go-round painted on it.

Love the ancient faucets on the sink…2 separate faucets, no mixer.

And a pedestal sink as well!

Mixer taps were invented in the 1920s, but few houses had them in the Fifties. These cartoons bring back memories of old houses and old plumbing (not good ones)

And somewhere in the night you get just as disheveled.

If you don’t get dirty, maybe you won’t have to do it tomorrow morning…

Generally, people sleep better when they feel clean. So no, it’s not a waste of time.

So you won’t have to do it in the morning. Oh, wait, you do.

wow, Charlie Brown in a classic white undershirt!

You want to leave a good impression on your pillow

And why eat? You’ll just get hungry again.

You’ll be happy you did when you’re older, saving on dental bills

In my parents’ house in Levittown, PA (built in 1954), the bathrooms had mixer taps. Not sure about the pedestals.

In the Army I was in the field 2-3 weeks out of every month. The name of “Field Artillery” should have been a clue. After the first 2-3 days I got used to being dirty & smelly

When we got back in & I got back to my quarters I would take of my uniform & drop it on the floor, & it would crawl to the clothes hamper by itself!
