Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 06, 1960
Transcript:
Linus wraps a gift. Lucy asks, "What in the world are you doing?"<br> <br> Linus says, "I'm going to send Miss Othmar a weding present . . ."<br> <br> Lucy says, "Well, that's very thoughtful of you, Linus . . . What are you sending her?"<br> <br> Linus says, "A box of eggshells!"<br> <br>
That is metaphorically a good gift, literally, no practical uses.
