Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for November 09, 2019

an apple or a PBJ sandwich wasn’t satisfying enough back home, Charlie Brown?

At work, my coworkers always bring in leftover Halloween candy.

All you’ll get is a rock.

I have leftover candy C.B.!

Even with forty trick or treaters this year, I had leftover candy. Hi-Chews, a Japanese candy made in a variety of flavors, invented as a “halfway” between candy and chewing gum, apparently because of a Japanese social reluctance to chew something that later has to be removed from the mouth. Sort of like a super-gummy gummy.

Delicious, even though American stores only carry fourteen flavors. In Japan, there are [or have been] over 175 flavors. I get them by the bag at Target.

My friends at our weekly “Ralph’s Bar and Grill” meeting all share leftover Halloween treats. They all loved the Hi-Chews.

Gesundheit.

Never figured Chuck for…nah, I’ll save the political snark for “Mallard Fillmore”.

I have never heard that line before but at least it is better than “Trick or treat, smell my feet!”

Poor Charlie…

Give him a “Rubber Biscuit.”

Trick*s* or treat*s*?

Okay, that second line is enough to get the door slammed in the face as far as I’m concerned.

It wouldn’t have been official anyway. C.B. doesn’t have a costume.

You can only eat just so many rocks, before you get hungry again.

Charlie Brown trick-or-treatin’ as a Confederate soldier: “I’m hungry!”
