Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 02, 2023

Who’s a good girl?

That’ll do Peppermint Patty, That’ll do.

Who’s a good Peppermint Patty?

That will look real good on your job resume.

Rude awakening ahead

And she’s oh, so good

And she’s oh, so fine

And she’s oh, so healthy

In her body and her mind

(Kinks almost)

oh Patty…I see a bad moon risin’…try not to howl at it!

Oh, it’s over already? I really wanted to see the graduation ceremony!

This certificate acknowledges that PP has gone to the dogs, Literally.Wa Wa

You just don’t get it, sir.

Peppermint Patty is a very fetching child. (If someone has already used that line in this arc, I apologize.)

You know she’s happy when the words out of her mouth aren’t “Stop calling me sir!’”

Come on! There is no way in Hell that a lack of sleep would make Peppermint Patty THIS dumb!

Congrats, Peppermint Patty!

The key words in this arc being “I don’t have to go to school anymore”

Wow, I forgot how long this arc is. Up with Patty’s Skating competition and the “Mr. Sack” arc

73 years ago today, the first “Peanuts” strip was run (October 2, 1950).

She deserves extra treats for being a very good girl

Enjoy that feeling while it lasts, Patty…

A diploma suitable for framing, or wrapping fish

Well, at least she did something to deserve the diploma. Victories, no matter how small, should be celebrated.

Charles always got that wrong: anymore, not any more.

I’ve been wondering how it is that Ace Obedience would let a little girl act like a dog. But, hey, they probably just figured she’s bored and looking for something fun to do. And when she shows up at the first day, dressed in shorts and sandals, and having the $25, they figure, heck, just go along with the cute kid with more money than sense. I’m sure the trainers just had a great laugh. The diploma was the coodegras. Now they have a story to tell to their kids.

Oh, Lord, it’s hard to be humble……

wow! forgot how this played out ;+)

She should treat herself to an extra Milk Bone to celebrate.

She must’ve caught a frisbee with her teeth

Now she’ll start skipping regular school, which willeventually catch up with her.

And Marcie has a BRIEFCASE???

I’m certain that when the truancy officers show up at Patty’s house the diploma should be explanation enough.

Patty can now fetch with the best of them.

I’ve enjoyed this. It’s in my actual paper so that’s why I haven’t commented.

See Get Fuzzy and Luann Again if no one else has mentioned them.

When I was a kid, our boxer puppy got a diploma that said she passed obedience school “satisfactorily.” She enjoyed a long career of jumping on kids thereafter.

Marcie and Peppermint Patty may be peculiar, but they are still miles ahead of the other female Peanuts characters in my book. Lucy, Patty and Violet are hopeless. Sally is just okay… I think she got her mean edge from hanging out with Lucy!

So when’s the graduation party, Sir?

Officially STUPID. Hope it’s really over
