Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for September 23, 2022

Oh well, Pig-Pen you tried. Better to be yourself.

This is a fable

all that clean-up for nothing, Pig-Pen

As I recall, Pig-Pen’s cleanliness was always short-lived.

Nice try P.P.!

When people say he cleans up well, they mean it literally.

He deserved a hug for that effort!

Even a Tie!!

Pig Pen finds out about dames the hard way

Well it’s all right now,

I’ve learned my lesson well.

It seems you can’t please everyone, so

You got to please yourself.

(“Garden Party,” Ricky Nelson)

Incel in the making

So basically she is what is called a CT.

In other words, “Clean up and forget get about a hug.”

Pig Pen will always end up a filth magnet.
