Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 18, 2019

hey, there are times I don’t mind putting no syrup on my flapjacks

Most of us have never ridden bareback and we don’t know if that is good or bad.

Like drinking hot cocoa without milk.

See if there’s any honey…

Butter and sugar. Molasses. Jam. Honey. Cinnamon and sugar.

Pancakes without syrup is like beer without alcohol.

Let it ride, Linus.

That is a nightmare! I learned a long time ago to check and make sure I have syrup before I make pancakes or French toast.

Brown sugar syrup.

Riding bareback is like walking the beach without shoes. You really become one with the horse. Not a good comparison to no syrup on pancakes.

sugar, water, and a little vanilla if you have it.

Find another analogy, Linus – some people like riding bareback…

As some others have commented – if Charles Schulz knew how this might be read 47 years later… :-P

And Linus: get some raspberry jam… that will be even better. ;-)

I agree. Linus should have checked first…

That’s why I use jam.

I ride bareback all the time. Once it was even on a horse.

Aunt Jemima Pancakes without syrup? Ridiculous!

Like Fries with no salt…

Butter & sugar is an excellent substitute…or jam…and I agree with others that the analogy is not the greatest. Riding a horse bareback is pure, a real one on one experience.

You think that’s bad, Linus? Try eating syrup with no pancakes. (On the plus side, you likely won’t feel like eating again for the rest of the day.)

Weird sexual innuendo for a family comic strip.

It’s worse than that

Lacking syrup, I used to put butter on my pancakes. But, cutting back on saturated fat, I stopped using butter. Also, syrup is too much sugar. So, now I use vegetable oil on my pancakes.

I think Raymond Babbit would agree about not having syrup with his pancakes. Definitely need to have maple syrup on the table with pancakes.

I rode bareback my entire life, I think it’s more fun!

PB & J

Perhaps a little jam would do – one with lots of whole fruits.

See if there’s any jam or jelly.

See if your neighbors have any syrup
