Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 06, 2021

Join the club!

To sick for school on the first day.

Why have you been waiting for her all weekend School-that she can heap more derision on you?????

Good idea, Sally. Since today is Labor Day, the school would have been closed anyway once you got there.

It’s Labor Day today anyway.

Friendsick.

(Tell me why) I don’t like Mondays

“Can we could pretend that airplanes~ in the night sky~ are like shooting stars~…”

My stomach hurts: You know how many kids have tried that old chestnut to get out of school?

Thinking about wearing a face mask all day.

Trust me, school. No one WANTS to tell you anything

Do you think Sally is faking?

Charlie Brown can tell the school building why Sally isn’t there.

Remember when you had to go to school, thinking all the time how disastrous and awful it is – till you graduated, entered “real life” and nostalgically realize that this was the best time in your life?

Little Sally has a fan.

This was really a bizarre storyline by Schulz. : )

She’ll bring you a note from her mommy.

It’s Labor Day, no school anyway.

deviating a bit from the ongoing story, didja check out C.B.’s sweet cap??

Poor wall,,,,,, sigh

I remember the cement and mortar school buildings grows smaller when we visit it years after growing up.

I got sick OF school on the first day. Does that count?

Probably inhaled too many pain fumes from the graffiti she has been applying to the school walls.

Not a good sign for the school year when she has to stay home sick on the first day of the year.

harsh, isn’t it?

Keep in mind, she hasn’t been excused yet.

In 1958, I was in 11th grade, I had the flu twice in September. The first I was out for one week, Then I went back to school for a week. Then the second was after the week in school, I was out for 2 weeks with it. Later on my mother what I was writing from the blackboard. She said I was going to the eye doctor. I needed glasses. At the end of the year the teacher asked my parents to come in. She told them I would barely pass. She suggested to them that take the year over, because I would have a rough time in high school. So that is what was decided.It was the best thing for me. The first time I made second honor roll, my mother up to my second sixth grade teacher, who my sister had and liked, since the other had moved. She my second sixth grade teacher to mail the clipping to the other teacher, since she had moved away. In 9th grade I madefirst honor 5 times and second honor roll once. I am now 74my eye sight is very bad. I’m legally blind without my glasses. But they still drafted in the Marines in 1968.
