Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 15, 2016

what imaginations

I always avoided these games. You couldn’t win or lose without an argument.

Times have changed

Poor Shermy, already getting to be a rarity.

Ah yes, today they’d be put into therapy for acting violent

How times have changed………. can you see modern comic strips showing little boys playing with toy guns? Now it’s all electronic gizmos. I think it was better back in the Fanner Fifty days, running around outside, just being kids. Not being 7 years old going on 27 like now.

Grew up in the nineties. We never played with toy guns. We beat each other up with sticks and clubs, instead.

Better killing through technology…

Isn’t getting dirty the point of ALL outside play?

My brother and I do this with Rock, Paper, Scissors

As long as you put atomic or radiation in front of it, you could make anything sound plausible in comics in the ’40s and ’50s.

Oh how I miss my Mattel “Shoot-N-Shell” pistols…

This was why we used dart guns: you could tell when you hit somebody that way! (I personally always wanted to use a spear gun but I wasn’t allowed……..)

In the last panel, they seem to be in the middle of a crop circle. Watch out for UFOs!

Down the street was an Army surplus Store…When We played “War” – We played “WAR”!…You could and often did get Hurt! (1950 on…)

And it should get more comments than Meg Classics. After all, Meg Classics is in its third or fourth rerun. All the comments are used up.

My mom filled old socks with flour and we threw them at each other. They left a clear mark where they hit – No arguments!
