Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 11, 2012

so cute…..

I couldn’t possibly add more to that.

You can argue with a tree?!?

79 cents for a kite! How old is this strip anyway?

Don’t bother the kite-eating tree while it’s having lunch, Charlie Brown!

“Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me?”

$5.68 today by the inflation calculator.

And a paper kite in that shape…you’d have to make it yourself. These days all I can find are plastic Delta-shaped kites. They may fly “better” but they’re just not the same.

Uncalled for Andrea@home.

It is called “Classic Peanuts” for a reason!

Kite eating tree. There’s one in every orchard.

$0.79(sigh)

79 cents for a kite. That’s why I read old comics and old comic strips. The past was cool.

It would be so hilarious if the second last panel, the tree said “Gulp!”.

You can always make your own paper kite. They fly pretty well once you get them airborne. They’re cheaper and make a nice tree snack.

Losing that hour of sleep really made you grumpy today. Oh wait, you’re always grumpy.

Memories: in my neighborhood, kite flying was a team project. we got all our change together and went to the store. Trees were bad, but telephone wires were worse.

Why don’t you climb the tree Charlie Brown?

Sometimes people act like a kite-eating tree.

Awwwwwwww… Poor Charlie Brown!

Get Lucy.. She will probably SCREAM it down!

LOL xxx

@Snoopy_Fan

You missed me and my ‘Awwwwwwww!’ comments did you? Which one did you miss most of all?

LOL. I hope you are doing well. I missed you a lot too.

79 cents? My laptop doesn’t even have a key for “cents”! Nothing costs pennies anymore. If that makes cents to you.

Never fly a kite where there’s trees or telephone wires. Fly it in a field somewhere.

I’ve always believed that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Perhaps it’s a shame that you did.

Citizen Grog is never small minded or spiteful. One could learn from him you know.

The only way I can get the ¢ symbol is by going to the “special characters” drop down file on my laptop.

Same here, CD

Kite eating tree? Where is my chain saw?

Maybe it’s extortion. You never know what a tree wants with $0.79, but if you leave a dollar bill including the finder’s fee…

A 6" by 2.5" by 1" Brown Mule was made with real vanilla beans and cost 10 cents. Regular stamps cost 5 cents, and air mail cost 10 cents.Things then were made to last. We’ve gained a lot, but we lost a lot too. It is good to know someone else remembers.

simon & garfunkel talked to lampposts and bridges in their songs so our friend charlie brown ain`t the first to do that kinda thing .

I love the PEANUTS SO MUCH!

In 1969, the “bat” kits could be had for under a dollar, and a fancy plastic diamond kit was probably close to $0.79 at Long’s Drugs, so Charlie Brown may have had a very deluxe model, earlier in the sixties. Or perhaps his came with a full reel of kite string.

Several friends and I went on on a brace of box kites and a Hi-Flier reel – it held hundreds of feet of line, and two box kits on one line could just about lift a small kid. We re-papered them several times that summer, and went through miles of line (it would get caught in trees when the breeze dipped.)
