Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for November 24, 2016

nice try, Charlie Brown you blockhead

“Going to the show”…do people still say that? My parents did but then they were born in the 1920s.

I long for the days when it only cost a quarter to go to the movies.

In New York it was four bits, but it was cool inside…

You could go to the movies for a quarter in the early 1950s?

Violet obviously wasn’t going to see Ed Sullivan, since that would’ve been a “really BIG show”…….

In the 60s, we had the ‘summer movies,’ where my parents bought a group of ten tickets for a dollar and we’d watch one a week, mostly somewhat forgettable, but it was better than staring at the broken TV set in our living room.

About 1960, I could get into a double feature Saturday matinee for ten cents and six Pepsi bottle caps. About 1930, my father could ride a streetcar for a nickel, see a movie, and get a comic book and candy bar for a quarter. At home, he reached into the back of the battery-powered table radio to get shocked. Anything for a buzz.

Nice setup, Chuck!

Tom Sawyer? Charlie Brown does remind me a bit of Twain’s character here, though he’s not trying to get out of a chore. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Happy Thanksgiving

“Save your money – don’t go to the show… watch out where the huskies go…”
