Shortly after parcel post stamps were issued, ( in the 1930’s ? ), there were a few incidents of parents actually mailing their kids. Few cents for the stamps was less than train or bus fare, postal workers were apparently trusted, dumb I know, and not thinkable today. Postmaster eventually caught on & nixed the practice.

I’m gonna wrap myself in paper,
I’m gonna dab myself with glue.
Stick some stamps on top o’ my head,
I’m gonna mail myself to you.

By the way, Tom Heintjes, editor of comics magazine Hogan’s Alley, posted a 1938 Sunday Phil Fumble comic to his Twitter feed this morning:

Poor Buster Binks. 27 years old and cursed with the body of a child.
