What's up with the carton of milk is that Lynn doesn't know how to draw one.

No doubt she drew the carton from memory, and as usual, her memory sucked.

She did draw the bags/pitchers in earlier strips, but at some point, I guess she switched to having the characters use cartons.

Even back in 1981, she did not know how to draw a carton with an end opened.
