Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for March 11, 2025

Well there was the boy, and there is the paper. At least he didn’t break any windows.

When I delivered newspapers, I had to walk to every door, put the paper in the mailbox, and make sure it was covered if there was rain and snow. And some customers still ripped me off.

I was a paper boy, and if I did that the parent’s phone would be ringing off the wall when I got home!

I had a paper route in a tiny spot on the map in Indiana. Never had that happen, but I did break one window and had a few land on the porch roof…

There was one high porch I remember having to heave the paper way up there, it still exists and when I see it I remember those 1960s days!

I never threw papers when I delivered. I walked up to everyone’s front door.

paperboy, newspaper route over 3 miles long 180 customers. Sundays and winters were a nightmare in Missoula in the late 60s. learned to fold a paper so I could side sling it from my bike as I passed the house so it landed where it was supposed to. Sundays usually had to spend a half hour folding and securing with a rubberband before setting out. if you know you know

There’s an art to folding a newspaper so it can be thrown.

That’s not a very good throw, Charlie Brown!

Why when I delivered papers I used rubber bands.

Happened to me many times when I was a paper boy!

Making a rubber band ball are we Charlie Brown?

The paper I delivered required me to knock on the door on M-F because it was an evening paper then and weekends morning delivery.

Didn’t happen often when I delivered papers but sometimes the rubber bands slipped off or broke. However, I put them back together as best I could……

Should’ve said please

That’s poor delivery, Charlie Brown.
