Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for December 19, 2021

I guess this strip predates the ZIP code’s introduction in 1963.

I had heard the Canadian postal code for Santa was H0H 0H0 (that’s with zeroes, FYI).

Flashback to the film of The Maltese Falcon, when Bogie mails himself the keys to the locker by putting his name on the envelope followed by CITY.

“But the very next morning, it came right back to me. Santa wrote upon it, ’Return to sender. Address unknown. No such number. No such zone.”

No zone number, but you should specify whether you want it to go to North Pole, Alaska, North Pole, New York, North Pole, Australia, or North Pole depot, London, England.

Elvis:

I gave a letter to the postman

He put it his sack

Bright in early next morning

He brought my letter back

[Chorus]

(She wrote upon it)

Return to sender

Address unknown

No such number

No such zone

Zone 0?

How about “New York County Courthouse”? That’s what saved Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street.

If this strip were about four years earlier I’d say to send it to a court room in NYC.
