Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for October 31, 2020

The precursor to the football gag!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! What’s everyone doing for Halloween?

Lucy sure grew up fast.

It did snow here in Boston yesterday.

No wonder Lucy became a psychologist… She created her own private patient, and a perpetual income of nickels with her treatment of Charlie Brown.

Charlie Brown was dumb enough NOT to look out the window. He also didn’t change into snow pants.

And then came the football!

Anyone else see the similarity between Charlie Brown and Pig from Pearl’s?

Modern CB would have just said “Good Grief” and then moped about it. This CB hasn’t had the life crushed out of him yet

Making Witches Stew, homemade biscuits and pumpkin tarts! What are you doing today?

Awesome artwork in the first couple of panels but those green curtains… OY GEVALT!

The “pre-football” days.

Was Lucy Van Pelt an overnight guest at the Browns?

Especially during the first football kick of the season.

The first sled of the winter chance here was yesterday. Looking at some left over snow now.

What Lucy did before she found the football.

So Charlie Brown lives with Lucy?

And so the Lucy v Charlie Brown campaign begins….

Staying at home of course.

Nothing. For once, I don’t have to turn the lights out and pretend I am not home. Living alone in a city does not make me love Halloween. No one is going out here.
