Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 07, 2023

Very good Linus, you don’t want to get sick.

Aahh. The sticky sick stick tongue depresser.

Be glad it was the mouth stick, Linus. The other option is not endearing. Which reminds me of the old joke: Do you know how to tell the difference between an oral thermometer and an anal thermometer?

Smart boy, Linus. Bite him if he tries again.

Good one!

I like my tongue to be happy – not depressed.

Ice cream makes everything better.

Good for you, Linus!

I can’t stand the feel of dry wood on my tongue. The worst was those little wooden spoons they provided with small dishes of ice cream served at school year ago. If I couldn’t find a plastic or metal spoon, I would go with out. The wooden popsicles sticks didn’t bother me because you didn’t have to lick them.

Sweet idea, Linus.

Stand your ground Linus and make the doctor get his own Good Humor bar.

Jesse: (On the phone with the doctor) You just put the thermometer under her tongue… You put it where? Joey, it’s for you.

Probably gave him a good chuckle….

Lucy looks so proud

Good thinking, Linus. You already have one bug; the last thing you needs is another one!
