Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for January 24, 2019

sure you do, Patty

B*tch

Part-time lover.

It is strips like this that made Peanuts such a very popular strip for decades. :)

Given this comic strip was created in the 1950s, I’d be interested in reading his comic books.

A 40¢ investment then, about $4 in today’s money.

Just wait a few years more and you’ll discuss who is better, Marvel or DC.

That was me and my girlfriend in 3rd grade. “What have you done for me lately?” would have been her motto back then.

Those would most likely be worth something now.

Singing: “What I did for love…”

He’d have been my bestie!

Funny. That doesn’t work with my wife.

She’s a Gold(en Age of Comic Books)digger…

Showcase #4, Brave and Bold #28 …

These vintage Peanuts comics baffle me – I can’t see how he ever became famous with all these lame early strips. The ones where Charlie Brown is a complete jerk are the strangest ones, considering he becomes that ‘sad sack’ character we know today.

Putting this into historical context – little girls were often discouraged or outright forbidden from buying comic books. They were generally considered to be for boys. Patty may have just been getting her comic book fix the only way she could.

I didn’t start buying comics until the mid-60’s, and I occasionally got flack from total strangers about my parents allowing me to read them.

Love Her Madly by the Doors comes to mind here …
