Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for April 23, 2022

Liberace Van Beethoven…

Are you trying to attract Lucy now, Schroeder? Quick, get rid of the candles!

And CB, what do the candles have anything to do with going commercial?

“I wish my brother Georgie was here.”

Schroederace!

Watch him “Tickle the Ivories” !

Think Super Commercial. Liberace

Did he have a brother… named George?

Too bad Georgie isn’t around to see it.

Immediately went to this scene…

Beethoven was a brilliant pianist, and when he performed he used candles toenable him to see the sheets of music on the piano stand in the otherwise dark concert spaces. Schroeder is here still being true to his hero.

I got it from my brother George.

For younger readers, this is a spoof of Liberace who was a famous pianist who always performed with a candelabra on his grand piano.

I once saw a production of the Marriage of Figaro where in one scene the curtain rose to reveal Figaro with toothy smile, piano, candelabrum, white sparkling outfit and all. The audience became hysterical; it was several minutes before the show could go on.

Waxing harmonious

“Hehheh… I wish I had a brother George.”

Liberace would have been proud!!!

Does Schroeder have a brother George? :-]

All he is missing is a few gaudy rings on his fingers!

Today it would be some take on Andre Rieu… if Shroeder played the violin.
