Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for January 24, 2021

Patty Brown… hmm… does that even sound right? (What about Sally van Pelt?)

By the time your old enough things will be different. (maybe)

“…I guess we’ll just have to shack up!”

Don’t change your whole name. Just your last one. Otherwise you are erased and no longer a person in your own right.

Violet had a crush on Charlie Brown? Wow, the early stuff was so different.

I thought Peppermint Patty was the only girl who liked Charlie Brown, how about that?!

Some women don’t change their names, but it’s usually their fathers’. The real problem is what happens to a married name after divorce or death. Should they go back to their maiden name?

And that, Violet , is why you were booted from the strip. Changing your name and looks. and hooking up with Jon Arbuckle, though, was a weird decision.

Do either Violet or Patty even have last names in the strip?

Says something that she’s thinking of marrying Charlie Brown. The only other male we know the surname of is too young for her to consider at this point. Too bad she doesn’t know Shermy and Schroeder’s surnames (although like Linus Schroeder may be a little young for her though he is fast catching up in age)

And the biggest smile has just come across Charlie Brown’s face……

Nope, you don’t unless you want to change it.

As a guy, I’ve never had to worry about this name thing, but, I have to admit, if I were a woman getting married, I would have a hard time with it.

We thought about hyphenating, but quickly realized that anytime we were introduced to someone new, they would laugh so hard and so long that the new relationship would never amount to anything.

Or her name could be Mrs Violet Brown.

The most famous Violet Brown appears to have been a Jamaican woman who died (in 2017) at age 117 years, 189 days; she held the “oldest living person” spot for about five months.

Interestingly, one of her sons lived to 97 years old, and is believed to have been the oldest person ever with a living parent.

That’ll be your name if you married Charlie Brown. Mrs. blockhead

Which Peanuts characters are gay?

Just move to Quebec and keep your own name. Problem solved.

No, you don’t have to change your name when you get married.
