Back when the newspapers were still running the cartoons, I would cut out the best and attach them to the wrappings of birthday and Christmas packages. They were so good I just had to share. My family knows I am always on the animal's side of things. :twisted:
Nowadays I enjoy the Tundra and Close to Home cartoons.

As a devout Far Side fan I just could not resist posting this. Reminds me when we used to invite some other Finns to Thanksgiving dinner and we were bunch of legal aliens :lol:

As a teen, I used to wrap Christmas gifts in the "funny pages".

Today, when I get a package in the mail, any newspapers used as padding gets uncrumpled and read.
