Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 16, 2013

“Squack?”

“Square” + “Smack” = “Squack.”THE MORE YOU KNOW

First they start off with Bach, experiment with Beethoven, eagerly and clumsily fumble with Brahms, and next thing you know it will lead to Wagner in the streets! Wagner, in public without a shred of decency.

In honor of the Master’s birthday, I offer Valentina Lisitsa performing a couple of sonatas, for your pleasure if it pleases you:Moonlight I like parts 2 and 3.Appassionata JusOfferin,

Why, Schroeder—aimez-vous Brahms?

And boy did I just date myself. Again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNELISE!!!! (Hope I spelled that right…) We all love you and wish you the best and happiest birthday ever!

Lucy would be expelled if that were today at school

Back to 1966 daily, and a happy Beethoven’s birthday with a SQUACK!

I’m thinking Haydn.

In case you were wondering why we’ve been hopscotching around the past few weeks. :)

Oh, boy! I sure hope someone kisses me right squack on the nose!

My birthday was yesterday, but I learned a couple of years back that I was born right at midnight, and Mom was given a choice of days. Hmmm. Beethoven, or Nero? Beethoven, or Dave Clark of the Dave Clark Five?

Considering how she probably felt after all those hours of labor, I’m not really going to throw that stone.

OR kicked out of first grade (rather than being taught, as teachers should do).

It’s my birthday too!

Beethoven was baptized on 17th Dec 1770

I think Schroeder’s in love with Beethoven.

I’m surprised Schroeder didn’t object to that. It must be true, strangely.

I bet Schrader knocks up Lucy in High School

Schroder looks traumatized.

Not surprising really.

SQUACK – S + QUACK (like a duck).

Brahms’ birthday is May 7.

Yuck! Lucy germs!
