Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 07, 2022

try a different career choice, Charlie Brown… perhaps sweep the clipped hair in your father’s barber shop

Maybe repaint the school buildings yellow?

“When I paint my masterpiece” (Bob Dylan)

In an earlier strip, he lacked the carpentry skills for building a birdhouse.

When Charlie Brown goes around the neighbourhood looking for odd jobs, he addresses each of the Peanuts kids as though he’s never seen them before. In the strip above, Charlie Brown and Lucy are talking to each other as though they’ve only just met.

1975 resumes with Charlie Brown looking for a Summer job before going to camp and meeting Joe Shlabotnik at a baseball game while Peppermint Patty and Marcie take part in the Powder Puff derby. Also: This week of strips originally from 1975 is the last week for this original Peanuts size before the strip grew an little half inch the next week.

uh, CB…isn’t a summer job supposed to help you MAKE money, not lose it?

You and me both, Charlie Brown!

Who knew old Chuck was an artist?

What a drip.

When children were expected to do some work… And that’s a good thing.

Right here with you, Chuck…

LOL, someone must have seen me painting this week! Ruined my shirt…I found that hot water doesn’t remove it even if immediate.

I loathe painting, even the low VOC paints affect me and the headaches it gives me.

Paint your pitcher’s mound.A red-and-white bullseye design.

Trivial factoid: school-bus yellow is one of the more toxic paints nowadays (now that lead is out) because yellow relies on cadmium. So, the whole building in yellow? If so, it should come with blinking red lights for warning!

A very lousy resume’.

Schulz could have used Pig-Pen instead of Charlie Brown in this story arc. It would have been even funnier.

Don’t limit yourself. Offer to do anything a kid your age should be able to do.

Oils, acrylics, watercolours, or fingerpaints?

Love the western mindset of children doing job during vacations.

Charlie encounters the job-experience paradox.
