What's Schroeder doing? Practicing the piano. Seems pointless to me. How so? He has no competition. He's like the only kid in the funnies who even plays the piano.
This assumes practice is only for competition. All those recitals I figured were for the benefit of the parents and the music teacher. Schroeder is practicing and playing because he loves the music. Formal training has not choked that out of him yet.

Well since you put it that way…but then no one wants to be the Charlie Browniest either!

How would he win his darling Lucy without his piano?

And the Peanuts Christmas concert? Schroeder plays almost as good as Vince Guaraldi!

Lewreader, you’ve hit upon the one argument which might actually induce him to quit the piano.

@rmaxell - too right! Wish there were more students out there like Schroeder. :)
