Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 16, 2021

Wouldn’t that branch have smacked her in the face?

That happens to me all the time when I’m mowing the lawn. Dang dogwoods!

don’t blame your son on losing his hat, Mrs. van Pelt, when you two get home

I know, I know-more exciting than a rollercoaster ride, isn’t it? ;D

Low branches, potholes, barking dogs! Outside is scary!

“Low branch, everybody down. Low branch, cuz we’re coming to a town.”

Rerun, this is where knowing how to play ‘Duck, Duck, Goose’ would come in handy …

He must go through a lot of touqes

Makes me think of the Erie Canal song. see the following:

Your big brother Linus would remind you that’s how Absolom met his fate!

Mom must be a really tiny midget, if her baby sits taller than her on the bike!

Time to get a new winter hat, Rerun.

Are there any Rerun strips which don’t have him riding in the back seat of his mom’s bicycle? Can’t think of any.

I can’t imagine what would happen if those branches were lower.

I imagine Mom wearing a leather helmet, ski googles, and a Kamikaze smile

Ever been clotheslined by a branch? Not pretty

A horse will do that trying to scrap you off his back.

Rerun is definitely my favorite Peanuts kid! ;o}

That´s trees in the winter for ya

Aye, aye, Cap’n!

Look Rerun, it’s time you knew the truth. Your Mom’s been trying to kill you.

I know it was a different time with different sensibilities when this strip was drawn. But, I can’t help being a little freaked out about the lack of a helmet.

But my Mom was such a bad driver I wanted to wear a helmet in the car. I have no idea how many accidents she had….ummm, caused. I can’t even imagine the terror of being on a bike she was riding.

Sometime in the near future – the kid is attending the school of the blind…

Wait, does she know how to duck? I mean that branch should have hit her in the face, probably in the chest. And at the speed they appear to be traveling, even though it’s kinda small it should have laid her out flat on the ground.

But it clearly missed her. So it looks like she ducked, which means she’s good at missing low branches and it’s Rerun who needs to learn how to miss them.

Whoa! What a nice civilized comment section!

Nahhh! She is hunched over the handle bars like she’s running the Tour de France!
