Transcript:
"Charlie Brown, Linus and Lucy are standing on top of a hill looking out at the clouds as Lucy says: “Aren’t the clouds beautiful? They look like big balls of cotton…” <br> <br> Charlie Brown, Linus and Lucy are lying on the hill now looking up as Lucy says: ‘I could just lie here all day, and watch them drift by…” <br> <br> Lucy goes on saying, as she points up to the sky: “If you use your imagination, you can see lots of things in the cloud formations… What do you think you see, Linus?” <br> <br> Charlie Brown sits up a bit listening to Linus tell them what he sees “Well, those clouds up there look to me like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean..” <br> <br> Linus point up to the sky saying: “that cloud up there looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor…” Charlie Brown lifts his head a bit higher looking up at what Linus is pointing too. <br> <br> Charlie Brown is sitting up a bit more with a puzzled look on his face as Linus goes on saying: “And that group of clouds over there gives me the impression of the stoning of Stephen…I can see the Apostle Paul standing there to one side…” <br> <br> Lucy replies” Uh Huh… that’s very good…what do YOU see in the Clouds, Charlie Brown? Charlie Brown turns his head and looks at Lucy. <br> <br> Charlie Brown looks back up at the sky and says to Lucy: “Well, I was going to say I saw a ducky and a horse, but I changed my mind!” <br> <br>" dialogue-text,"Charlie Brown, Linus and Lucy are standing on top of a hill looking out at the clouds as Lucy says: “Aren’t the clouds beautiful?

Maybe it’s one of the four Horsieduckys of the apocalypse.

This is one of the very best Peanuts strips I have ever read, and I have read many (most of them excellent, if not extraordinary). Great Art and Pure Genius! I bow down before It!

This is a classic. A friend and I use CB’s final line when we encounter our ignorance of various things.

This strip was adapted for the opening scene in the film “A Boy Named Charlie Brown” as well as an entire musical number for the show “Snoopy!!!”

Today, July 25th, 2023, is Thomas Eakins’ 179th birthday. The only reason I know of his existence is via this comic strip.

This is one of my two favorite PEANUTS strips. The other is where Linus (not Charlie Brown?!) tells Snoopy that he hasn’t a care in the world, and Snoopy thinks “I wonder where my next meal is coming from.” Both strips are extremely profound.
