Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 28, 1963

A good day, mostly because she got Schroeder to react to her, I think.

Also—maybe Beethoven (and Bach and Mozart) should have their pictures on bubble gum cards. Or just trading cards, these days, I guess,

Lucy and Schroder’s dialogue here(mostly HERS, of course)was then used two years later, in the Peanuts Christmas special, when Schroeder announces that he “has selected Beethoven Christmas music,” for their Christmas play. Many dialogues between Peanuts characters, in original daily funnies(or Sunday funnies), were used not long after the times they were published, for a certain scene in a Peanuts TV special(another one, was the cartoon serial, from circa 1966-1967, where Charlie Brown was assigned to be partners with—ready for this—the GIRL OF HIS DREAMS, YET ALSO, HIS “WORST NIGHTMARE”—yes, the BEAUTIFUL red-haired girl, and, anyway, where Lucy tells him how silly he is being, because "pretty faces make him nervous, " she gets all angry and defensive, because so is her face a pretty face—well, the point—this dialogue was then used in the special, “You’re In Love, Charlie Brown,” and Lucy also adds, “After all, Charlie Brown, wasn’t I the CHRISTMAS QUEEN?” Yes, the half-century that Schulz had shared his artistic gift, with the whole world,“those were the days,” and still are, with the daily reruns.

Sorry, Lucy, Beethoven IS on bubblegum cards!

More than that Schroeder apparently even had such Beethoven bubblegum too!

Though it was nine years ago, maybe Schroeder doesn’t have them any more.

Is she even TRYING to get Schroeder to like her?

How come Lucy thinks SHE’S so great when SHE’s never on any bubble gum cards!

At least it’s not as stupid as Lucy saying Beethoven wasn’t so great because he never got to be king! https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1957/08/04

Not a good day, for him.
