Linus taps his pencil to his mouth as he gazes at a drawing.<BR><BR> Linus sits at a table drawing a picture of Lucy. Lucy comes up and asks, "What's this?"<BR><BR> Linus replies, "It's a project for school . . . We're supposed to draw someone in our family . . ."<BR><BR> Luc looks over Linus's shoulder and says, "I notice you haven't put in the mouth yet . . ."<BR><BR> Linus holds up the drawing and says, "Well, uh . . . There'sa no real hurry . . . It doesn't have to be finished today . . . In fact I was just thinking of quitting . . ." Lucy says, "Put in the mouth . . . I want to watch you . . ."<BR><BR> Linus replies, "No, I think I"ll wait . . . It's wrong to rush a work of art . . . There's no real hurry anyway . . . I think I"ll just wait . . ." Lucy frowns and says, "Put in the mouth!"<BR><BR> Linus draws Lucy with a big, wide open mouth.<BR><BR> Lucy punches Linus.<BR><BR> Linus sits on the floor in a daze and says, "It's hard to draw when your hand is shaking!"<BR><BR>
If he had any brains, he would’ve only drawn the bottom half of the mouth. It would’ve looked like Lucy smiling, and once she moved on, he could’ve added the top bit!
