Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 10, 2024

A rare Linus not wanting to go to school.

Linus can answer a question raising either hand. That makes him ambidextrous!

I love the blanket…

Guess what I really didn’t go to school today as my right shoulder is hurting. Although now I work there, it is where I studied too!!

If he answers a question left-handed, his answer won’t be right.

Answer questions left-handed? Thats right.

Now he’ll only be able to make offhand comments.

No, we expect you to answer left handed questions.

Answer questions left-handed? How sinister!

Where’s Peppermint Snoopy?

What’s wrong with lefties, Linus?

When I was Linus’ age, most of the kids in my class didn’t have enough impulse control to raise their hands and hope the teacher would call on them. Know the answer? Just shout it out!

No, she expect you to get your butt out of bed!

The left-handed scholar…

Or just don’t answer questions.

Right handed people are handicapped by not being able to use their lefts. Lefties have no choice but to also use their rights. Example: watch the right handed people in the bank ATM drive thru. Many have to reach across with their right hand, out the left window…

My left handed father would have said Linus will be smarter that way

Better than being left out, Linus.

if it’s worth answering, yes.

Trivia time- all of the characters in Peanuts were right handed. They tended to reflect Schulz’ own reality. They all hated coconut because he hated coconut.

Being left handed, with rotator cuff issues in my right shoulder, I identify with this strip!

nothing like a pain on one side of your body to make you lean a little more to the otherside.

I’ve often wondered why people insist on using their right hand when they know it is easier to use their left.

That goes well with his left-handed compliments

I like how it seems he needs to convince his sister, not his parents, for permission to stay home.

Yep, Linus is a weird kid, but we love him ! ;-)

bring Rerun—he’ll be the substitute hand raiser

Yeah, Lucy, can’t you understand how that would be absolutely sinister?

The Horror! That’s a very sinister(al) way to do things.

Get that Southpaw rolling, Linus!!

Linus you are not sick bet if somebody threw you a ball you would forget about your pain

That would just be gauche.

Another valid reason to miss school.

As the left-handed father of left-handed twins, I think Linus seems a bit more of a jerk than usual today. Besides being left-handed, we have other superpowers.

My husband usually refers to his left hand as “my stupid hand”
