Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 24, 2021

ow

Ouch, most people who ever do feel like Chuck do not get that depressed until they have finished school and are out in the real world with real problems to deal with unless there is a serious problem at home or they are the victim of bullying (which Chuck is to a certain extent from time to time by Lucy or people at parties). Chuck is not even out of elementary school yet and he already dreads a lot of days even before they start. Schulz had a subtle way of telling the masses that all childhoods are not fun and games all the time.

Some of us just aren’t morning people. If you hit me with important questions at 7 AM, I guarantee I will feel in over my head. Let me get that first cup of caffiene before you talk to me. I’m not a night owl, either. I’m at my best between 10 AM and about 8 PM. What does that make me, a sparrow?

Have a nice hot shower and then some hot-cocoa. That might make the day seem more reasonable.

If you didn’t sleep in the toilet, CB, you wouldn’t be in over your head ..

Sometimes, it’s better to just stay in bed. Especially if it’s a day that ends in “y”.

I get up at 5 AM and work out. After that I lose control of my day.

Stop sleeping in the bath, Chuck.

Me too sometimes.

I dove into a swimming pool once and quickly realized I was in over my head.

Story of my life.

The Peter Principal.

Then just float through the rest of your day.

Yeah – I know those days.

Yeah, but that has usually been because of a relationship I was in….

Mattress is that soft and sinks that low?

Better to feel like you’re in over your head than to be in over your head and feel like everythings going your way.

Sounds like any Monday.

I feel the same way, bro!

work related mentality!
