Oh also, another jet-related cartoon…

A jumbo jet with Santa, the sleigh, and all the reindeer smeared across its nose.

I sent that out as my Christmas card a few years back… 😃

I just glanced through my Far Side book. One that still makes me laugh is the one where a hulking stranger is at a Butcher’s Counter. A fat kid is sweeping the floor in the background. At the counter the butcher is whispering, “I never thought about it before, but I guess I could let the kid go at $1.99 a pound.”
