Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 31, 2020

now you did it, Sally

Some ignorant creatures expect to be picked up and whisked away. OK, that was years after this but they probably weren’t the first with that thought.

That’ll show her!

Sack the writer! :D

You just had to tick off Snoopy, didn’t you, Sally?

I remember that incident. I’m still interested in astronomy, and the “world’s coming to an end” didn’t even cross my mind as serious. So, that’s why Snoopy and Woodstock are covering themselves. Maybe Sally finally brought them to reality.

And so ends 2020, a year of COVID pre vaccine.

Looks like Snoopy and the bird have left ignorance and fear behind. Thanks, Sally.

It’s the rapture!

Maybe Sally should keep her mouth shut.

Soon, with this kind of event people will be wearing plastic sacks to cover their heads and faces instead of paper sacks. (Gone are the sackcloths.)

I remember last summer when Charlie Brown was was watching a golf tournament on TV when Sally heard the commentator say “There’s no tomorrow”. Guess who thought the world was ending THEN! Oh, yes – and Linus (who called out Snoopy and Woodstock yesterday) bought into that one too! Their solution: sit on top of Snoopy’s doghouse. Hypocrites.

Hey, Sally actually cured them of their fear of the end of the world!

The Heaven’s Gate cult drank their infamous poisoned Kool-Ade because the Comet Hale–Bopp was passing over. Snoop and Woodstock are calm by comparison.

Hah! You’ll see! Wait…this is in the past…

Some animals have a special sense that enables them to react prior to a cataclysmic event. Fortunately, Snoopy and Woodstock are not those animals.

I don’t remember hearing about that comet then.

So did the world come to an end?

Write about how your dog talks to you in thought balloons.

Apparently there was a lot of end of the world hoopla when Halley’s Comet appeared in 1910. It was one of the first times a comet reappeared after it had become generally known that they came back in cycles.

Asgrid Lindgren’s books about “Emil of Lönneberga,” written from her own experiences growing up in a farm, has a chapter set during the comet passage, and lots of the farm folks are preparing for the end of the world.

Ignorance is bliss.

Interesting that Sally is actually doing a report that makes sense.

Ok, since I’m bored, I’ll write a story.

Lucy Gets Her Just Desserts

The entire Peanuts gang rounded up on Lucy and started yelling at her. She had no idea why. “What did I do wrong?” She later wondered as she drifted up to sleep. She woke up at 10:00 am. She needed to set up her psychiatrist booth. She checked the garage, but it wasn’t there. Lucy looked out. Did she forget to put it back in? Sure enough, it was there- but Linus was in it. “Move!” She snapped. “You can’t steal my idea!” “Why? Was it copyrighted?” “Why must I have a brother like this?” She wondered out loud. “Life is cruel. Five cents, please.” Linus said. After being forced to hand over the five cents, Lucy stormed away. She was going to be extra crabby like this. “Yoohoo! Lucy!” Charlie Brown called out, with an ominous smile on his face. “See this football? Here’s an idea: I’ll hold it down and you come running up and kick it!” No. This could not be happening. “Ol’ Wishy-Washy Charlie Brown won’t do it.” She thought. “I hope.” “AAAUGH!” She screamed as she fell flat on the ground by the force of her kick. “Why, Charlie Brown? Why?!” She yelled at him. Charlie Brown did not answer. He was too busy laughing. “HA HA HA HEE HO YOU’RE A RIOT, LUCY!” He whooped, walking away. What was going on? Was Lucy stuck in some sort of parallel universe? She trudged into Schroeder’s house. Maybe the music would make her feel better. But Schroeder wasn’t playing piano. He was leaning on the side of it, beaming mischievously. “Hi, sweetie!” That was the last straw. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!” Lucy screeched, running away as far as she could from anyone she could. “AAAAAUGH! AAAUGH! AAUUUUUUUGH!”

And then she woke up.

Ignorant beagle!

Planet X is now stuck between Leonard Arnott and Jason Arnott somewhere in Portage County, Wisconsin bowling alleys.

Tselios means ‘end’ in Greek but Rison means ‘first’ in Hebrew. Sally Beine wanted that information.
