Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 11, 2021

The look on Marcies face in the last panel is priceless.

In the days when computers were not yet personal, games were not yet electronic and phones were not yet portable, kids found interesting ways to stay occupied, even choosing to Beep a Beagle!

Be kind to Snoopy. It was only five years, (when this strip was written), since Charley Brown and Snoopy went to the moon. Poor Snoopy didn’t land though. Perhaps Peppermint Patty, if you study hard, you can fly like an Eagle and land anywhere you want to.

Sounds like a good idea to me!

I wonder if they have any T-shirts left over for “Thrillsville ’74”?

It’s “Boop nose” now in 2021!!

He doesn’t like it when you do that.

Thrillsville 1974 compared to today – Thrillsville 2021 – being 1 year since the COVID pandemic lockdown began for the USA with states and places slowly reopening in months and stages after that…

I think half of Patty’s school problems could be really bad eyesight. Afterall, she thinks Snoopy of that short kid that plays shortstop on the baseball diamond.

PP’s got her mind made up! I think only her dad can talk her off the dog house and back to school

Ummm…it’s boop.

I used to love, and sometimes use, many of the sayings Shultz used back then: Thrillsville, Joe Cool, etc.

Uh…no we are not, PP!

Unlike “The Family Circus”, the Schultz estate doesn’t pretend it’s 2021…

It’s normally Lucy who does the nose-beeping thing:

‘Thrillsville ’74’ – that’s awesome!

I forgot about “thrillsville”…and of course everything in the ’70s had to have the date attached…

In grade school back in the early and mid-fifties the day wasn’t divided into periods. That did not happen until I reached junior high school.

As in, 1974? I was under the impression we were seeing much newer strips by now.

Thrillsville Adventure Park?

Second period? Elementary school for me wasn’t divided into periods, that didn’t happen until junior high.

Snoopy’s eye-roll in panel 3 is hilarious. :)

Hey, would someone explain to me the reference “Thrillsville ’74”?

I wonder if after writing this comic in 1974, Charles Schultz ever thought his comic would still be so popular nearly fifty years later.
