Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 31, 2023

(Robot Model- B-9 voice) “danger Charlie Brown! danger-danger!”

Heaving a deep and troubled sigh, He said, “Why do the men of to-day ask for a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign will be given to the men of to-day.” (Mark 8:12)

Wasn’t I right some time ago? Peppermint Patty is right-handed and Charlie Brown is left-handed? Their writing hands are on the inside.

I think she grew up to become my first wife.

One of these days Chuck is going to lose it and bop Peppermint Patty right in the noggin.

I just remembered that she also acted this way in Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown(And Don’t Come Back.). Of course, in that one, CB shouted, “Will you stop criticizing me?”

What a pint-sized drama queen!

I forsee a marriage between those two.

PP is practicing her ranting for when she goes thru puberty …

Don’t hassle Peppermint Patty with your sighs.

I’m sorry, but this is ridiculous, even for a cartoon. No school would ever put students side by side at the same desk.

I wonder if CB is thinking that maybe Linus’s advice from Saturday may be a good thing…https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/2023/01/28?ct=v&cti=2208697

They would make a great married couple…

Too much togetherness…

What difference does it make anyway!,,,,

Like an old married couple

I guess there was no other desk available, but teachers usually don’t mix genders in desk assignments. But, knowing Patty, she probably insisted that Charlie sit by her.

Peppermint Patty is the most difficult person anyone had the misfortune to put up with.

Problems in lovers lane.

If I did not think that P Patty would end up in a long term relationship with Marcie I would predict that this could be Chuck’s future as a henpecked husband with Peppermint as his wife. Of course he would probably get berated even worse if he ended up with Lucy…..

How unreasonable… of Chuck.

Yep, sighs can indeed start arguments. Learned that from experience :-D

Chuck, you need to ask the WAAH WAAH teacher to move you!

And to think, they are not even married yet.

The desk partner you hope you never get…

Knock her off of her chair.

Poor CB. Can’t even vent in a healthy way.

Don’t marry her Chuck. She’ll just give you a nervous breakdown

One’s company and two’s a crowd.

Somebody get a saw

Married life…day 3

Sighs matter but size doesn’t matter.

A tiff right before Valentine’s Day? Not good.

Take her out into the yard and give her some elementary justice…

I taught algebra to college students who disliked math or felt incompetent with it. One quarter, the men dropped out, leaving an all-female class. I changed the left-brain terminology in for familiar terms: ‘thingy’ for ‘unknown’… that sort of language. Everyone got an A or B at the end. When a person sees that she or he can actually do some math, almost all lose their fear or loathing of math!
