Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 05, 2021

Even Beethoven had unrequited love, but the ladies didn’t take him seriously.

Someone (or ones) beat Schroeder to his line.

This is bad, but going deaf is totally worse.

You found it :D

Schroeder will have to switch to playing Handel’s Water Music.

Beethoven never did have to put up with his piano being thrown into the sewer because he had no Lucy Van Pelt to deal with! ;P

This has got to be the brattiest thing Lucy has ever done.

I think Beethoven had a bigger piano.

I thought Charlie says “good grief?”

Kind of strange that if a piano that size would get past the sewage treatment plant and get washed into the river then what about the smaller raw sewage? I suppose you wouldn’t want to go swimming in that river. Then again maybe the Americans let their sewage overflow into the storm drain when it rains.

Did Beethoven ever have a toy piano Schroeder?

Beethoven only had to put up with people talking loudly through his private concerts.

Only if Beethoven had to deal with a likely character such as Lucy!

This ‘arc’ sure is lasting a long time.

Come on, Schroeder! You can do it! Go after that piano!

this is a rare story line for several reason, firstly it makes schroeder the lead character, secondly look at the detail of the back grounds. the fact the kids are moving through the town really stands out.

I hope after this that you guys take something to make sure that all that running around in the rain doesn’t lead to a cold!

Anybody else imagining player piano chase music?

Beethoven would never hear of such a thing.

Helping chase a piano in the river and the pouring rain. CB is being a really good friend.

The piano might be caused in the boil and backwash, where it will be destroyed.

The dead end they are at looks dangerous. Quick! Someone draw in a railing!

“Rage Over a Lost Piano”—might be a good title for a little piano rondo a capriccio Schroeder.

Well Beethoven never had some girl who couldn’t see he wasn’t interested in her throw his piano down in the sewers in order to eliminate “the competition.”

Beethoven played on much heavier pianos.

Brings back memories

That’s actually a pretty safe bet, Schroeder.

Beethoven did disco music. One of his songs was in Saturday Night Fever.

Actually this is how Strass became inspired to write “Blue Danube”, true story, I read it on the internet.

Well, fellas, you have learned the lesson that women always win, quiet early in life.
