A couple of years ago, I stumbled across an album on Spotify called “Good Grief, Charlie Brown!” It doesn’t seem to be well known, but it’s a 1962 collection of comics starring Lucy and CB, voice acted by Kaye Ballard and Arthur Siegel, and today’s comic is the first in the track called “Snowflakes and Stars.” Aside from some annoying background “music,” the collection is pretty good. I like to give it a re-listen every now and then. I recommend it!
friend of mine from Laos thought the same thing until he saw a snowstorm. He’d seen snow in the movies but thought it blew around because of the wind. He phoned me late one night; oh so accusing: “you never told me it falls out of the sky!”
I once worked for a family owned business and the owner would turn all the heaters towards the ceiling in the winter. When we told him that the heaters needed to be turned towards the floor because hot air rises and turning them towards the ceiling was doing no good he argued with us. His logic was that cold air rises and that is why there is snow on the mountains. We were left speechless. He truly believed the reason snow was on mountain tops was because cold air rises and hot air falls towards the ground.
Lucy, you have made an illogical adduction by comparing flowers to snow. Flowers live in the soil; snow falls from above. Let me introduce you to meteorology and atmospheric physics.
Come let us watch the snow fall the same way as rain and ice.

Should have said , “I was going to say it comes up” that would have confused her.

So by Lucy’s logic, snow comes up like flowers out of the ground.

Charlie will be a lot happier if he gives up and walks away.

I can’t stand it. Your thoughts about snow, I can’t stand it.

Poor CB wishes this topic hadn’t come up!

In a way, she is right!

Or perhaps the snow hovers above us, and the Earth rises to meet it.

Do you smart Lucy?

In one series of strips, Lucy’s nature theories actually give Charlie Brown a stomach ache.

That bit later found it’s way into the script for the off Broadway production “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.”

Next panel, Charlie Brown buries his head in the snow to avoid keep listening to that.

It comes down, but it piles up.

Then the snow goes back down into the ground when all the suns melt it.
