Cartoons: Fridge Fun

Post Editors

A young man with a transistor radio slouches in comfy chair in front of a fireplace. Behind him, sitting upright in an identical chair facing the other direction, an older gentleman with a newspaper casts a disparaging look the young man's way. Between the chairs is a small table with a lamp and a sign that says, simply, "Silence."

Love them all, but especially # 6! Wasn’t there a Post cover around this time depicting a couple in an antique car oblivious to their holding up traffic, also going uphill? I may be wrong, but for all I know I may be right.

Fortunately, even in Los Angeles, I’ve never run into traffic quite like this in #7. THREE gridlocked roads trying to merge into one?! Yikes!
