Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 21, 2025

Maybe he should be pi.

This conversation has become a negative number.

I understand, CB.

Then you get older and realise that zero is a powerful number if it’s in the right place at the right time.

Uh, Lucy—There’s already a 5, and you’ve met him.

You could be a cube root, Blockhead!

If I give you $1, will you give me $100? It’s only a difference of two zeros, and zero is nothing, so there’s no difference… Right?

Then Charlie Brown realized what he wanted most was to be a celebrity, so he didn’t have to do anything more.

Math? No thanks.

Try being the square root of pi !!

I think he’d rather be a hip root.

Hey Chuck, being an irrational number is better than being imaginary.

I give Charlie Brown a lot of credit for his perseverance in the face of so much adversity.

Charlie might be a parallelogram. A rectangle that’s just a little bit off ;)

All Charlie Brown wants is a little recognition.

Square Roots make my work possible, thanks Charlie Brown!

With Lucy verbally beating you down, who needs a enemy, hey, Charlie ?

Square roots are powerful.

Good old Charlie Brown is always a solid 13!

Zero is not a square root.

How about a ‘Happy Prime’ ?

Maybe he’s a repeating decimal. It does seem like it’s the same thing over and over with him.

Square root of negative one. i said so…

Lucy is mixing her math-aphors.

Poor Charlie Brown.

I guess this could be a reference to Big Nate. √

Lucy is a Pi, completely irrational

Don’t worry Charlie Brown, Seals and Crofts have you covered.

When I was 17, I dreamed of being king. And having everything I wanted.

But that was long ago and my dreams did not unfold, so I’m still the King of Nothing.

When I was 17, I dreamed I gave a ring to a pretty queen and then I held her.

But that was slumber’s fault for I have no love at all. And I’m still the King of Nothing.

If I could rule, I’d dance my cares away, find romance everyday.

I wouldn’t have to listen to this poor fool say,

“I’m the King, I’m the King, I’m the King of Nothing.”

Old Lucy said, You can be anything you want to be in life. Old Charlie said, I want to be Younger. Lucy replied, Well then I guess, you’re fooled.

That’s a perfect suggestion for a blockhead.

Is Lucy off the clock? No 5 cents? Pro Bono?

She’s just being irrational.

Once again talking to the wrong person.

Charlie Brown is the Square root of 2

42

What’s the square root of a redwood tree?

I always wanted to be with a perfect 10, but I’d settle for two 5’s instead.

Be a six. That’s a perfect number.

I used to be a zero. But I worked hard, and now I’m twice that!

Take the compliment Chuck, this is about as nice as Lucy gets ! ;-)

I think ‘No 6’ would like today’s strip!

Lucy would make a great irrational number.

Chuck can be 5 or 7 but 6 is taken!

The concept of zero as a starting point is one of the great inventions out of India. Values can go in one direction and be ‘positive’, or the other and be ‘negative’, so in some ways Zero is the foundation of everything.

My girlfriend is the square root of -100. An imaginary 10.I know no one is going to read this but I had to sneak it in before tomorrow’s strip comes out.

He’s number 1

That shows perspective, numbers don’t mean anything.

You get used to being a null. A dunsel.

i’ve always been the square root of two … an irrational number
