Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for July 31, 2021

Charlie Brown, you sneak.

And now you know why nobody likes you, Chuckles.

That’s pretty evil! The football thing makes sense now.

You can damage your eyes doing that.

“Mama always told me never to look into the eyes of the sun. But Mama, that’s where the fun is.”

Panel 4 is pretty neat!

Funny, I don’t see a bicycle anywhere. ;D

Now we know why Lucy is so mean to him. He’s a psychopath!

And that, boys and girls, is how government works!

Peanuts Begins has been showing Sunday strips on Saturday for months. What happened?

CB, Mrs Van Pelt is gonna come after you! And this explains all of Lucy’s take-away-the-football antics!!

OMG, he’s a hypnotist…..

Staring at the Sun

hm

Mama told not to look into the eyes of the sun, but Charlie Brown told me to.

I guess that was funny a few decades ago (and I KNOW it is a cartoon and LOVE Peanuts) but it seem pretty cruel!

Lucy’s in the sky with diamonds!

NEVER EVER, EVER, EVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN, LUCY!!! NOT EVEN IF YOU’RE IN OUTER SPACE! WHAT WERE YOU THINKI NG, YOU STUPID #&%$@#$ ?!? YOU COULD HAVE BURNED OUT THE RETINAS IN YOUR EYES AND GONE PERMANENTLY BLIND!!!!!

Panel 4 is trippy…

So it was about revenge all those years…

She’s not as bad as Snoopy when eating candy, clearly. Snoopy would have stopped staring at the first chomp.

When I worked in a Darkroom, we were constantly going in and out; I would keep one eye closed if I knew I would go right back in, thus keeping my night vision preserved in one eye. It was always funny to see my co worker come in, blind and fumbling around before her eyes adjusted to the dark.

We were not allowed to stare at the sun, even, or especially during an eclipse. The fastest way to go blind, next to snow blindness.

I did that several times at that age to see the sun’s disc. I saw it then I stopped.

I quickly looked to see the disc too. And there were cool sun shadows on the sidewalk too.

Curly: I can’t see! I can’t see!Moe: What’s the matter??Curly: I got my eyes closed!! Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!!
