Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 11, 2022

touché, Schroeder

A good come-uppance to the ever vigilant thorn in the side of this comic strip. Charles Schulz is certainly well equipped with all the phases of life in the neighborhoods of the era portrayed. Love it!

“Send her your love, with a dozen roses. Make sure that she knows it, with a flower from your heart.”

And you leaving Schroeder alone would be the best possible surprise, Lucy.

Send her Away!

Surprise! I didn’t get you anything!

Surprisingly true.

“STOP AND TAKE THE TIME TO SMELL THE ROSES”

Black roses?

Ah, Schroder employing the “How can I miss you when you won’t go away” approach!

A pre-Valentine’s day rejection of giving someone roses.

Yeah, Solitude is the best

Lucy is what we would call a hopeless romantic. No matter how hard she tries, she just can’t get Schroeder to fall for her.

How surprising. Wait, no, it’s not surprising at all.

There’s a hint for you Lucy

I had a girl friend once that I often surprised with gifts. Rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, watches and other items. But, she kept abusing me. We separated.

If Schroeder gave Lucy flowers, it would surprise them both.

But be careful what you wish for Schroeder.

As it has been observed: Some people bring happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go!

True.

You asked for that, girl!

By 2001,Schroeder still hadn’t discovered girls.

What I wonder is how his back wasn’t killing him after being hunched over the piano PLUS catching baseball games.

Happy Peppermint Patty Day everyone.

Play her the piano transcription of Haydn’s “Surprise” Symphony Schroeder; that’ll move her.

Ling ling 40 hours. Schroeder’s an omega man and doesn’t have any interest in silliness.

Dang thats cold Schroeder

And Schroeder drops the mic.

Don’t throw his piano down the sewer again!

Yes, leaving Schroder alone is better. And this time of year those roses would be awfully expensive.

She was about to leave forever and he started missing her.

“Touche” there Schroeder.

Lucy, you already have neuroses.
