Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for May 15, 2020

back to the shirt with the one horizontal, zigzag stripe

Like Kevin McAllister (‘Home Alone’): “You can get beat up for wearing something like that. I had a friend who got nailed because he wore dinosaur pajamas.”

Th-th-th-that’s all, folks.

That’s a new one… CB without his signature zigzag

Ow! That wasn’t nice.

Now we know why he sticks to that one t-shirt

BUNNY!

Now you have several inner wounds.

You have to be careful what you wear around these girls.

The girls killed the bunny on his shirt! Its entrails spilled out to form the zig-zag shape, returning our CB to ‘normal’.

I have a funny story about a female friend, her new shirt, and the summer we attended Driver’s Ed class together, but I ain’t gonna tell it.

Anyone else wondering why she has an umbrella?

This Peanuts reminds me of a column Garrison Keillor wrote about his attempt to introduce his 7-year-old daughter to the old Laurel & Hardy movies, thinking she would find them as funny as he did. Every time Ollie would hit Stan she would wince, finally turning to her father and saying: “not funny.”

Today’s strip features the gratuitous infliction of pain, and I can see many a child reacting in the same way: not funny.

So he’s left with no-bunny.

Same thing happens to me when I wear my Target shirt.

I never thought CB would get poked in the bunny!

Hugh Heifner had one of those tee shirts. Maybe a little different bunny though.
