Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 16, 2011

Dear Mrs Van Pelt. Thank You for your letter, we have reviewed it and have now decided to rename “Washer Woman’s Letter” to a more adequate name, namely “Grouchy 5-cent psychiatrist” Elbow Sincerely, A.M.A

And when you are Miss America, Lucy, your “cause” will be the eradication of Washer Woman’s Elbow!

Whatever titles you win, Lucy, it won’t be Miss Congeniality.I wonder if cartoon characters have conventions when no one’s looking. Someone should introduce Lucy to Fat Broad. It would be the fate both of them deserve.

Somehow I doubt Lucy has ever done any washing. She’s too much the Daddy’s Little Princess type.

Can i just check on the initials as i live in the UK – am i right in thinking that A.M.A. stands for Americam Medical Association?

You’ll never be Miss America if I have anything to say about it, Lucy.

You tell ’em, Lucy!

Certainly needs a more “feminist-friendly” name.

Is Lucy moving to another country so she can miss America?

This is a 1964 strip, but it’s accidentally dated 1959!

Awwwwwwww!

It’s not them, it’s nature.

LUCY LOOK MEAN TO WROTE LETTER TO MA’AM? FUNNY GIRL..

“Washer Women’s Elbow”? When Charley Brown had it, they called it "Little League Elbow. " who’s sexist—the AMA or Charles Schultz?

Two-star pain. Ouch.

When lucy get’s upsit with her brother she gives five reasons not to “push it”o (finger) 1, (finger) two), (finger) three, (finger) four, and thumb. Adds up to) fist in the face.(hi reaction) "Those are good reasons…..

“Future Miss America?” In your dreams, Lucy. You neither have the poise, charm, or beauty to achieve the title.

Little girls like to dream. They dream of marrying their male teachers and being a princess and yes, being Miss America or Miss Universe.

Notice that all doctors were assumed to be male in 1959.

Lucy must be exiled, Charlie Brown.
