Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for September 22, 2021

Does Lucy know what the Davenport is? Because I don’t.

Next time, shoot him in the chifforobe.

What is the difference between a davenport and a sofa?Today, a couch is a piece of furniture large enough to lie down on that’s bigger than a loveseat, which is built for two. In essence, a davenport describes a piece of upholstered furniture big enough to lie down on that was made and named by the Davenport Furniture Company in Massachusetts, according to Creators.

Don’t hear the word Davenport any more, I remember it as a kid!

I’m worried, I have a very twisted sense of humour to-night, still better than how I felt for the past week.

She’s channeling Henny Youngman.

CB doesn’t seem very convinced by Lucy’s medical argument! :D

My dear aunt would use ‘davenport’!

I remember when I originally read that strip that I had to look up the word “Davenport”. It was very confusing, since I had a neighbor with that surname, and SHE didn’t know what the noun meant.

It’s a city in Iowa along the Mississippi river

I remember reading a Peanuts collection when I was 3 or 4. I’ve always remembered this particular strip because “davenport” was confusing to me and I had to go find my older sis to help me out. She had helped me out with “Schroeder” a few minutes earlier. Maybe some other words, too. Huh, I wonder if I was a pest to my sister? Nah, I doubt it, but I’ll text her 12 times to ask her.

Kinda like the “dum-dum” wound Leo Getz had once…

I once got shot in the Davenport. It was in Ohio.

Today’s strip reminds me of a line in the old movie “The Thin Man,” when Nick Charles cited a report claiming he had been shot twice in the tabloids.

Wow – now there’s a term that takes me back! We had one but I think it’s a couch or sofa without a back?
