Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 13, 2022

way to go, Linus

On the plus side, with an attitude like that she won’t reproduce.

Lucy takes crabby to ridiculous lengths…think of all the (sad) energy that takes…sadly, there are plenty of actual people like that…

Love his expression when he says pleasant dreams.

This a nice typical snapshot of the daily life of an American family .. a few weeks before they are pictured as nice boys and girls hanging up Christmas stockings and sweetly waiting for Santa Claus to come down the chimney.

Linus, I hope you picked out a few choice boogers & buried them in her dish of ice cream. Wait until she’s finished it all to tell her, then run to your room & lock yourself in.

Lucy Van Pelt: Future “Empowered” Feminist.

Leona Helmsley’s early days.

one of the paperbacks I have Lucy is telling him to hurry up with it, Linus quotes, “she has all the patience of a boiling tea kettle”.

I like the spoon topper of Lucy in the title panel.

Politeness isn’t in Lucy’s vocabulary.

Linus is lucky that she only tossed her dish at him instead of slugging him.

What a waste of a great bowl of ice cream!

Brotherly and Sisterly love.

Linus should catch the bowl and spoon in midair and finish off the ice cream.

Lucy ,sweet ???? Dream on people,dream on

Okay… wasting ice cream. That’s the last straw.

I didn’t realize Linus liked to live so dangerously.

Wasting ice cream in our house is a sin

This is just the way my sister was. Of course, the other sibling and I did not get the recognition that she got and, naturally, there was jealousy and petty fighting just like this comic strip. So glad we are well distanced!

“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is To have a thankless child!”

Shakespeare King Lear

What a Fussbudget.

Which makes me wonder why “Karen” and not “Lucy”?

Little brothers, hey.

Lucy can dish it out . . .

Funny enough, if this comic were turned into a short cartoon with fully voiced dialogue on youtube, it would probably be demonitized. Can’t just make casual references to suicide as a joke anymore. Oops, I mean, “unaliving oneself”. Stupid…

Linus is too nice to his spoiled witch of a sister. Because he’s normally too afraid to speak out against her, he projects onto other characters like Charlie Brown and Snoopy.

It’s these delightful aspects of her personality that have failed to endear her to Schroder.

The Linus in us.

wtg Linus! Now she has no ice cream and will have to clean up the mess!

My oldest sister was more bossy than crabby and didn’t act quite as bad as Lucy.

Speaking as a younger sibling; half the fun was finding the right buttons to push. The other half was finding ways to push them without getting pummeled.

Christmas is coming Lucy and you’re working your way up to a big lump of coal. Maybe this is why you never get real estate like you want.

Is Linus actually instigating?
