Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 26, 2023

Ice skating is another thing I’ve never done, but that’s okay!

I am a figure skater…..but I love to read, too.

Whatever you do – please – NEVER try to read and skate at the same time

Or do what Pinocchio did in the book version: kill it by throwing the poor cricket against the wall.

Poor Marcie…her work is never done…

She could read Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates.

Normally, it’s good to take a break. But considering your grades, Patty… Yeah… You’d better march back home and crack open a book, young lady!

With all due respect, Marcy, who asked your opinion. Mind your own business.

Sir, you really should stop being lazy and get to work.

She’s working on her Peggy Flemming legs.

Yep, Peppermint Patty lives by the age old motto: “Never put of until tomorrow what you can put off to the day after tomorrow.”

I’d break something for sure if I tried to ice skate, though the olympic ice skaters are phenomenal to watch.

Good for her!

I loved to skate, but I fell down a lot.

Marcie just needs to “Mother” someone, therefore, she should prepare a book report for PP, and in turn PP can teach here how to skate, if that’s possible.

In other words, Peppermint Patty doesn’t want a stinkin’ conscience!

Lots of people beat down their consciences until they are still.

Sorry Patty, no exchanges or refunds.

I dunno Patty. The paperwork for that is pretty annoying to fill out. Maybe just put up with it.

With such an attitude as that, Peppermint Patty is destined to hold a mediocre job. Women Sports are just now burgeoning and only a few standouts making a handsome living so your chances of making a decent living at sports is scant. Listen to Marcie, you block head! Apologies to Charlie Brown. ;-p

I played hockey, but got the cr*p kicked out of me so much I had to give it up

Unfortunately this is how some ppl treat wisdom and common sense

On the day after Christmas, she is exactly where she should be…..

Patty and Chuck have some bad habits. They are both procrastinators.

I’m terrible at skating so I had to use one of those Baby roller things and I’m 16!

Marcie should be reading Matthew 7: 1-5
