Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 03, 2024

Hey, she paid them.

Poor Linus—and now he’s lost Truffles again.

Signed, sealed, delivered.

Ahhh… young love. I well remember those days of being dropped from a hovering beagle, into the waiting arms of my sweet babboo.

Well, after all, Linus… She is the one who alerted the helicopter authorities.

I guess that means we will not see young Truffles again.

“I got a picture of him in her arms, now” (The Boss)

Do people feel that these strips from the late 70s are not as good as the ones from the 50s and 60s? I’ve seen “jump the shark” referenced several times over the past couple of days, so it seems that that’s the case for some (and I fully respect their opinion). Personally, though, I don’t think that Peanuts ever declined in quality – the tone of the strips from this period is unquestionably different, but different does not equal bad. Actually, my favourite thing about Schulz as a cartoonist is that he was always experimenting with new ideas, so that the strip never, ever got stale in the way that so many others did. I love the strips from 1999 just as much as I do the ones from 1950 and 1966.

It’s better than you deserve, blanket boy.

She paid extra for the direct delivery option…

So this is where Amazon got the idea!

Helicopters do not fly; they beat the air into submission.

You’d think he’d be at least a little grateful?

Reunited and it feels so good, well maybe not good sometimes.

He needs to be rescued again. Or he needs to be un-rescued.

[Put him back on the roof where he was “safe”.]

Wow good catch and strength from sally

It could be worse, they could have dropped Linus in Lucy’s arms.

Linus and Sally; good catches in different ways

Linus, Sally will get you whether you want it or not. Now, where’s that bus?

Poor Linus

I’ve really not been able to get into this Snoopy helicopter rescue squad arc. Sure, all of Snoop’s fantasies from WWI flying ace to Lawyer Snoop were get-a-ble, but this, forget it. I’m just glad the squad has dropped Linus off into his lover’s arms and we can get back to comedy with reason.

Comments are strong today! Well done, chat…

Is this the first arc where Sally calls Linus her sweet babboo?

hey, she paid the price, she gets the booty. (giggity!)

It’s obvious “Peanuts” has a huge number of devoted fans. I can recommend the book “Schulz and Peanuts” by David Michaelis for those who haven’t read it already.

In 1969 I was in a hospital bed recovering from a spinal fusion. My roommate was a school janitor and the kids had sent him Peanuts books. I’d read one for a bit and have to put it down. I was afraid my laughter would interfere with my recovery.

Truffles will be missed.

“I’M NOT YOUR SWEET BABBOO!!!!”

He’s a victim of Pointless Pilot.

And Truffles is all alone again.

LOL :)

He got a bonus for accuracy.

Maybe I saw the ending to this arc when it was animated for television and blocked it out for good reason, not because someone changed stations on me. My kid brother always felt bad for Linus that Sally didn’t get the hint that he didn’t feel about her the same way, and what he had to endure for that.

Woodstock delivers!

Love laughs at Linus van Pelt

This has got to be the silliest storyline I’ve ever seen in Peanuts.

Well, she was who paid for your rescue.

Sally’s strong to the finish…cause she eats her spinach….

She paid
