Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 02, 2019

little does Lucy know that this punch would end up being the biggest mistake of this Christmas season…

She ran out of words and let her fists do the talking.;-/

y’know what they say: actions speak louder than words

Well, “POW !” is a word, isn’t it ?

In some houses, she would have been ratted out and punished for hitting her brother…

From time to time, I remark that our culture is soaked in violent ideas, imagery, and narratives. When I do that, people look at me as though I had three heads. And yet here we are in 2019, looking at a comic from 1972….

brevity is the soul of wit.

Don’t hold back, Lucy! Tell him how you really feel!

Even if the parents could talk, they’d say nothing about this.

Linus forgets that his blanket is a weapon, like a towel in gym class. Start practicing, Linus.

Well, up to this point, no one was “triggered” by the child violence, and I thank you.

Oh Lucy – Santa saw that! On his naughty list you go!

One of my favorite strips is the time Charlie Brown held out his fist for Linus to walk into—-but Lucy walked into it first.

That’s the way my sister usually works. Except she usually just skips to the punch. Pun intended.

Lucy has trouble expressing warm, kind feelings.

I hope you don’t mindI hope you don’t mindThat I put down in wordsHow wonderful life is while you’re in the world
