This year the Smiths would do their Christmas shopping at a packing supply store and save a lot of money on the box filler.

    I’m curious: were you inspired by this story: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5020432

    Or just by the phenomenon?

  2. Ken Says:

    The phenomenon. That’s pretty funny, though.

    That NPR story /is/ funny. My parents used to take me to an appliance store once in a while to dig through the tossouts to get a refrigerator box. Oh to be 10 again!

    The cartoon’s good too - Maybe I should take the Smith’s advice for my 2 year old daughter this year!
