Every year at this time, right at the end of November and beginning of December, I’m busy getting my annual Christmas card ready for the mail.  And, no, I don’t run out to the corner drug store to buy my cards.  Being a cartoonist, I have the fun advantage of being able to draw and design my own Christmas card.  It’s something I enjoy doing.  (And I use a desktop publishing program called Scribus running on a Linux desktop system).

Over the years, I’ve noticed that the cost of postage has been creeping ever higher. This little fact inspired  today’s “I Knew That!”

While you’re figuring out the answer, I need to double check my mailing list.  I may have missed a few friends.
