Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 21, 2024

It should be called the mocking tree Charlie Brown

maybe fly the kite on the beach Chuck?

You just had trees in your times CB, we have overhead power lines, TV cables, Fiber optic Internet cables (that replaced the old telephone lines) and tall buildings to fend while flying our kites.

Besides Snoopy turning into a helicopter, sentient trees and schoolhouses are two other examples that bother me about my all-time favorite comic strip.  They just seem out of place in a strip that, for the most part, is grounded in reality.  Don’t mind me.  I’m just nitpicking. :)

I hope it laughed the same way as Muttley.

I know where were heading, a very strange Peanuts plot on the way.

This is one of the best arcs.

Crossover! Perhaps you should give the tree BCs’ kite.

That there tree is just stringing you along, CB!

Think I would stay away from that tree.

And in at least one case, they eat toy pianos. Just ask Schroeder.

Would you rather that they laughed at you in front of your back?

check out BC today, the have the answer for the tree

Like I said, Charlie Brown should get a Japanese Battle Kite to combat that kite eating tree.

Grab a saw Charlie Brown. End of problem.

A rare look of anger on CB’s face…

Charlie Brown knew that trees communicated with each other decades ahead of the scientists.

Poor Ole Charlie Brown.

On top of it all, that tree is so gauche : )

This tree should be in a Stephen King novel

The ultimate haters.

I was lucky, I had an acre and a half behind my house with no trees — perfect of flying kites — if the wind were blowing from the west ! ! !

Time to get out the ol’ chain saw.

My kites never got high enough to feed a tree.

That’s what I want to see, CB with a chain saw.Go Chuck Go! Reality eats kites!

While I remember a scary old tree, practically no leaves, all branches, that had feed me kites written all over it, it rarely got any. And I always had great respect for trees. I now have 32 acres of trees and I love ’em all.

At least he didn’t say, “Pass the salt, CB”

He’d switch to something he can win at, except he hasn’t found that yet
