Transcript:
Charlie Brown stands in the field watching Lucy look up into the sky. She says, "I've counted forty-eight suns so far, Charlie Brown.."<br> <br> He replies, "That's a coincidence...there are also forty-eight states in the union" She exclaims, "Really? Say! I'll bet there's some connection!"<br> <br> She continues, "SURE THERE IS! This is more than just a coincidence..." He covers his eyes and exclaims, "Oh, no!"<br> <br> She runs around shouting, "I'VE DISCOVERED A SCIENTIFIC TRUTH!" He leans his head against a tree and sighs.<br> <br>

Actually, Alaska didn’t become a state until January 3rd of 1959 while Hawaii became one on August 21, 1959. In conclusion, Schulz was right.

48 states. It goes to show how old this strip is. Lol. I wonder what Lucy would think of that scientific discovery 5 years later when Alaska and Hawaii became states.
