Schroeder leans over the gate talking to Charlie Brown. He says, "I'm not going to school today, Charlie Brown.."<BR><BR> The latter asks, "What's the occasion this time? It couldn't be Beethoven's birthday again so soon, could it?"<BR><BR> He continues, "I suppose it's Bach birthday? Or is it Schubert's or Brahms'? Or Tschaikovsky's? Or Haydn's?"<BR><BR> Charlie Brown grimaces to the reader as Schroeder exclaims, "Nope...mine!"<BR><BR>
I was reading an old peanuts book in the summer between 6th and 7th grade and I came accross this strip. I liked the idea so much that ever since then I haven’t gone to school or worked on my birthday. That was probably 35 years ago or so.
