Frank and Ernest by Thaves for December 24, 2023

It’s going to be a rip roaring affair! It could shred all existing records too!

we used to do that….gave something xtra with the gift

Comic pages, wallpaper, and cut down previous wrapping so that there were no creases or tape.

Just today I saw someone had used All their CVS pharmacy receipts wrapping presents.

Hard not to approve of such ingenuity.

Genius

I used to use the Sunday newspaper color comics page for wrapping paper. But these days the newspaper is so expensive, and the pages with comics so few, that it’s hardly worth it now.

I was once in line at a store in Christmas season and two women ahead of me were discussing gifts. One said, “Men do not know how to wrap.” I said, “We do if you give us enough duct tape.”They were not amused, but I thought it was hilarious.

They’ll keep you intact so they can read you Ernie!

I still do this. Everyone in my family knows they’re from me when they see that wrapping.

and it looks like you are wrapped around a Jack-in-the-Box…!

Tiny tearers.

Very clever!

Buck Wild!!!

And there’s the Earl Pickle method, a garbage bag with a bow.

Excellent today. Very good idea. Now if only there was a local newspaper that delivered a traditional multipage comic section instead of the current 4 page foldout of mini comics.

I would if I still got a paper newspaper. Reuse is good for the environment.

Clever!

Remember wrapping a LARGE bottle of Aqua Velva in comics for my Dad……of course this was several centuries ago…..;-)

Is that Fur Babies in the lower right newspaper in the last panel?

Stephen Colbert: Newspapers will always be with us. When you move, you can’t wrap your dishes with your blog

Aww…the days of newspapers and folding it up to take it with you, trashing or starting a fire…etc. Now I’m using a tablet to read with.

I used to think I was being so clever when I used the comics for wrapping paper.

I tried that with my screen, looks like I need a new monitor…

I LOVE this !!!! Merry Christmas!

Using Sunday comics for gift wrap: It IS bright, colorful and festive.

We used to do that, but now I read these only online. And I can’t fold and cut the computer.
