You’re safe, Charlie Brown. Mediocre is usually slightly above average. It’s a sort of grudging “good enough.”

Maybe her mommy called her mediocre? Abusive parents are everywhere, even in Peanuts.

Someone’s got to be average. And that doesn’t mean you’re not good at anything.

The strip is beginning to take is nasty turn. Violet, Lucy and “Original” Patty become cruel to CB. Not my favorite strips.
