I think there must be some caterpillar in his pedigree.

May 15th 1953… the 7th ever issue.

Ricky, who looks about nine, was actually just turning 13… and just a few years later was a teen heartthrob… sigh….

Bunnies and tortoises?
Would you use one die, or two?

One. If you had two dice you would never land on square one.

Presumably an early version of chutes & ladders. It’s been ages since I played it, and I don’t remember if it still features tortoises and hares.

I was introduced to the game as Snakes and Ladders, when I was a kid in Libya… which I believe was the first version, but it kept that name in England.

I didn’t like the board, with snakes on it, or the game, so I didn’t discover for some time that Chutes and Ladders has children on it, and no snakes.

This version looks vintage, though, which made me curious.

I think instead of old, it’s a modern version, with a retro look…

the eco-conscious, so-called “crunchy” one, for kids whose parents don’t buy plastic.

I couldn’t find, in my brief search, how this company gets to ape a copyrighted game, but I did find this:

I’m guessing the original book cover was about getting a tonsillectomy based on the bowl of ice cream.

I think you’re correct. I seem to remember that book from when I was 5 and had my tonsils out.

I liked CS&N a lot better before Neil Young joined them. His voice just bothers me.

First time I’ve ever seen weapons grade cinnamon.

Even though I’m expecting it, I always jump when it pops open. Cinnamon rolls ~ one of my most favorite things. I’m going to have to visit Costco. Well, looking at the last two panels, maybe I will settle for a smaller one.

The early ones I remember were only biscuits.

I think they may have been louder, or popped more fiercely, than the ones available now, to everybody but Claude.

As I recall, you were supposed to knock them on the edge of something, and the cans would fling themselves open in a spiral, with a bang.

My mother was scared to do it, so she asked me…

I always dreaded it; it was like the party game where you blow up a balloon till it pops, and I couldn’t.

So my father became the official biscuit can exploder… they didn’t get baked till he came home from work.

LOL

“Knack und back” was the German name. They tasted fine back then, but a few years ago I got hold of a package – I imagine chemical waste tastes similar to those rolls.

I haven’t had any of the biscuits since the days when you could trust that food was made out of food.

A few years ago a friend made some kind of “orange” flavored sweet rolls from a can like that…

triangles of dough you roll up into a crescent, and a pouch of way too much super-sweet white icing to put on when they were finished.

We each had one bite.

Blechhh.

I still bang tham on the edge of the counter. That way I’m expecting the “POP”
