Happy Peanuts Debut Day! 74 Years! This ad is from one of the seven debut newspapers, the Chicago Tribune.

Ad for the comic strip Peanuts from October 2, 1950, as it appeared in the Chicago Tribune. It shows Shermy and Charlie Brown holding their hands above their eyes to shield them, standing below a traffic sign that reads "Watch Out For Children."

In Wales there is a legal requirement for road signs to be in both English and Welsh. In this case, the official of the Highways department emailed the English wording to the translator and, after receiving a reply, proceeded to have the sign made and installed. A few weeks later, Welsh-speaking drivers began to call up to point out that the Welsh reads, "I am currently out of the office. Please submit any work to the translation team."

Has to be the weekend when I was, like, 12 or 13 and read "The Catcher in the Rye" TWICE. I'd always been a big reader, but I'd never before felt inside me how powerfully a book could hit your soul or inspire you to see the world anew. (Ironically (or not), I've not read it since. New project...?)
