It really looks like an entirely different strip. The writing as well, not just the drawing. I wonder if Peanuts had become the success that it was if it had stayed like this.
Charlie Brown was quite witty as a younger lad. I liked him this way. While I loved peanuts from its inception (at least, as soon as I had learned to read in the mid-50s to it’s sad demise, I missed the old Charlie Brown, Violet, and Shermy of the early days.
In today’s world, Patty would be bringing a sexual harassment suit against Charlie Brown! I was just talking about this sort of thing with a friend yesterday (two "oldsters"—one male one female—lamenting the hair-trigger and over-wariness of today’s society…and the double-standard).

I like this version of Charlie Brown before he gets all wishy washy.

He can out-run her: at least she’s not a fast woman.

I always thought Violet was the hot one.

Will Patty “flash back” to this when she gets much older?(ducking now)

I should point out that today “hot” means sexy. At the time of this strip, looking “not so hot” meant she looked ill.
