Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 06, 2020

Now the question of the day…. Is Charlie Brown going Mad????

One of the few pre-internet memes

well, at least ’twasn’t a baseball

Oh no! Charlie Brown is turning into a comic book character.

Chuck’s being driven MAD by that picture. ;D

…perhaps the most unique Peanuts that I have ever seen.

ZING! I loved this story arc when it first appeared.

Its okay, CB, it’s just the lighter side of the situation…. Or it could be a MAD look at your situation.

Will he have an Alfred-like rash in the back of his head? Classic ending to a storyline.

This was on big nate once

HAHAHAHAHAHA

CB is now ready for Lucy and her psychiatric help .

Now you should see a doctor about MAD magazine

This storyline appeared in a 1983 TV special, It’s an Adventure, Charlie Brown.

So which was better Mad or Cracked? Sylvester P. Smythe or Alfred E Neuman?

So does he go back to wearing the sack and enjoy another week of glorious anonymity?

Put the sack back on, Chuck. It’s for the best.

There are worse things to be addicted to than MAD Magazine! Just roll with it, Chuck!

You’re cured, CB….sort of…

Out of the frying pan and into the fryer.

Peanuts has never been one for pop culture references, but this one works.

I LIKE this one! Why is everyone laughing?

It’s official; Charlie Brown goes Mad!

Great way to end the Peanuts 1973 Charlie Brown baseball/Mr. Sack arc. Nowadays MAD Magazine is mostly a mix of reprint and some new items in a bi-monthly magazine format (and recently Al Jaffee, famous for the MAD Fold-Ins, retired at the age of 99).

Charlie Brown has gone Mad.

Run this again Nov. 2

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!

It’s enough to drive you MAD, CB!

Schulz is leaving the ending open to interpretation. I got nothing.

One of the most hilarious strips ever…

The Day Peanuts Jumped the Shark.

Oh! Was not expecting THAT! Great one, Sparky.

Ah the payoff…. A great story arc.

Alfred E. for president!!

I read Mad Magazine in the 60’s. I introduced my own kids to it in the late 70’s.

She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes.

CB was a “neumann” with that sack. Now he’s gone MAD!!

This last story made headlines back in the day

Some folks reading this won’t know who Alfred E. Newman is…

Nueman, you gots some ‘plainin’ to do.

Alfred E. Neuman is more recognizable than Sylvester P. Smythe or Huckleberry Fink.

Oh hohohoho! That is priceless!

This was a good story. One of Schulz’s best. Charlie does need to take the advice in the last column. His rash likely went away thanks to bring away from the usual problems he faces. More good advice: tomorrow is another day.
