April 6th, 2011: This comic was inspired by my friend Tim's article on this subject. Tim writes a lot of good things! It's nice to have friends.

To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES. Orders placed before these dates will get to you in time for Christmas!

December 5th: All shipping methods except U.S.P.S. First-Class Package International Service™ are safe.
December 6th: International orders made not selecting U.S.P.S. Priority Mail Express International™ shipping will likely arrive in January.
December 11th: USPS FIRST CLASS and STANDARD may not make it in time and neither will USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.
December 16th: ALMOST NOTHING IS SAFE. USPS EXPRESS is the only safe USPS option.
December 19th: A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (IF THINGS PLACED ON OR AFTER THIS DATE ARRIVE BY THE 24TH, THAT IS)

One year ago today: oh, you'll grow out of THOSE.
