Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 06, 2011

TEN pages of arithmetic? That’s not homework; that’s cruel and unusual punishment!

Sorry to moan about display again, but I believe there should in fact be one missing panel here? There are seven people in the queue to CB including himself, yet there are only 6 panels until CB. I’m sure this strip originally had all 7 people in. One of the twins in front is missing!

Oh I do wish for authenticity. =(

He’ll get a D after working on it all night and on the bus ride in to school.

notice how cheap the movies were back then and how the kids were using coins to buy their tickets

^I remember paying 10 cents for Saturday morning movies.

You should be doing your homework, Charlie Brown. “Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”

Wow. That’s how much a movie cost then. Stupid inflation.

Today, you’d have to pay for your ticket with a double eagle. :) (3-D glasses not included.)

@ Charlie Tuba - I’d forgotten about 3, 4 and 5, and didn’t know Violet had a last name. Learn something new every day…

I think homework will go faster after you’ve had the mental break of a show. (I can rationalize most things! ;) )

Poor little Charlie Brown. He finds it so difficult to learn.

That guilty feeling didn’t help him much!

Ah, Shermy… the ‘Forgotten Peanut.’ Doesn’t even show ‘til nearly the last panel.

Hey! Did 3 and 4 get in on the same ticket?!? Those sneaky twins!

Note that the characters here are the same as in the Charlie Brown Christmas TV special. This strip is from 1964, and the TV special was in 1965. The character “5” and his sisters pretty much disappeared after that.

gimmickgenius – He’s comin’ back! At least according to The New Adventures of Queen Victoria!

As I recall, Violet always wore purple.
