9 - Elvis Has Left The Address



After you move into a new place, you will sometimes get the mail intended for the previous occupant.  We've lived in our house for almost seven years now, so it was a surprise to get a letter at the end of this week from the former owner, and addressed in her maiden name no less.  Somebody's junk mail database is in need of an update. 

If I have the time, I like to draw a small, fairly elaborate RTS message.  I believe Elvis does it best: "Return to sender/address unknown/no such number/no such zone."  The postal delivery lady appreciates these little cartoons, even if I only get to do this once every five years.  Whoever sends us this junk mail never sends us any more.  (I've deleted the mailing information to protect privacy.)
