Bette Nesmith Graham began marketing “Mistake-Out” in 1956 but it didn’t go mainstream until the mid-sixties. So alas, Charlie Brown, probably didn’t have any on hand.
This arc makes me wonder what mishaps Charlie Brown might have with social media today. Maybe attempting to send a tweet to the Little Red-Haired Girl but mistakenly sending it to Peppermint Patty instead?

So many of these Peanuts were wonderful on first reading and still are so many years later, true classics.

I think Charlie Brown pushes too hard when he gets excited. Haha

Being a Southpaw, I smudged words often and ended up with ink on the side of my hand.
Thankfully, I don’t have to write very often now.

Today he’d be typing his letter on a PC using word perfect and using script font to make it look hand-written! ☺
