Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for December 19, 2024

That’s Beethoven’s #1 fan, girls.

How quickly the little ones grow up! Just a few days ago Schroeder was falling asleep during story time, and now he has a wallet.

Yes, and Violet is going gray already.

Who did you expect? Oh yes. Yourselves.

Of course!

Schroeder carries a wallet? How old is he here? Three?

Beethoven’s birthday was Monday. I always remember because it’s three days before mine.

Violet got snow up on the peak!

I remember snapshots…

Well, yeah, who else? also, who would want to carry a picture of any of you?

Was photography invented yet in Beethoven’s day?

That sounds like Schroeder!

Wallets as toddlers?

Schroeder sure grew up fast! A few months ago he was just a baby.

The early days of his obsession.

Schroeder caught up to Charlie Brown and the others quite quickly. Later, so did Lucy. Linus aged quickly but couldn’t catch up, nor could Sally.

I was at a roller rink with a girl from school when another girl dropped her wallet as she was skating past us. I quickly picked it up and returned it to her. My companion told me I was stupid, that i should have kept the wallet or at least taken the money.

no surprise there

I wonder if Schroeder has a favorite Eurythmics song

…_ “V” for Victory. And the first three notes of Beethoven’s Fifth

The original black and white version of January 18, 1952 has a light haired girl on the right. Violet Gray has black hair. The painting error is Schulz’.
