Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for January 27, 2024

Why would one of them ever want to lick the other? That’s just gross.

Back when my dad could lick your dad meant something entirely different…LOL

That was very agreeable.

Sparky’s first dad love script?

Bill Hicks said as a kid he’d get other kids saying their dad could beat up his dad, and he’d say “OH yeah? Come around Saturday, he’s working on the lawn all afternoon”

Charlie Brown’s dad is a barber and I wonder if his barber pole has zig-zaggy lines on it like his son’s shirt.

’Cause they never gave us a licking…

I think coloring of the comics is what led to CB’s baldness. They could never figure out how to make him the blonde boy he is since there’s no obvious separation lines between hair and face. But the clues are there: The tuft on his forehead, the Alfala sprout in the middle of his head and the ducktail in back. Linus’s hair was pretty sketchy, too, but the color-ers gave it some body.

Isn’t this usually arguing over whose father could beat up the other?

I think that’s the “nicest” Peanuts Begins I’ve read. It’s amazing to me how nasty he’s been at the beginning.

I like this one. A pleasant exchange for once.
