Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 23, 2014

Nothing worse than soggy Snicker Snacks.

Charlie Brown, you blockhead. Nobody likes soggy cereal.

Just don’t pick up the phone!

Eat and talk, Linus.

Go hug your blanket.

Charlie Brown, you should know better than to call during breakfast!

O my gosh!

I remember this from 1967 and have described it many times.

Funny!

I hate it when that happens. In those days, you had no caller ID, so you couldn’t screen your calls or know who to call back.

This is one of the reasons why I’m more of a Dry-Cruncher than a Soggy-Muncher…

A long phone conversation would make the milk in your cereal soggy.

I always wondered why people feel they have to answer the phone. I thinks it’s there for my convenience, not really theirs.

Frosted Flakes are the worst when it comes to going soggy quickly.

‘Cuz, y’know…cold cereal is important and all.

AAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Charlie Brown is a cereal killer!!!

You should have just slammed the phone down on him, Linus.But that would be rude and you are never rude… Unlike your crabby, sucking lemon face sister.xxx

The Big G cereals from General Mills, Linus!

They had a solution to this problem that my dad used frequently: 2 bowls. Pour the milk into one, cereal into other, and “dunk” your cereal as you eat it. Me, I never understood this since soggy cereal was just as good as crunchy. You could also eat while on the phone, which would have been rude, but people do that nowadays. Drives me nuts. “Call me when you’re done eating.” “Why? I don’t mind.” “But I do.” And I’m the %$#^@.

One of my all-time favorite Peanuts strips!

No one mentioned the bowl of sugar sitting there – that’s a throwback to when cold cereal wasn’t already loaded with too much sugar… and answering machines weren’t commonly available until the 1970s.

:P.

And here is why cordless phones were invented.
