Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
As a child of the sixties, I grew up bombarded with the message that everybody should âbe somebodyâ. Since every boy could become President, every child should grow up to be president of something. Probably took it way too seriously, but it made me an unhappy overachiever, trying to buy approval with âsuccess.â After a nervous breakdown, several life-changes and a long recovery, I realised that not only will I never be a hero, I donât have to be one. What a relief. I can just be me, and live. Sometimes the most heroic thing we can do is survive.
So Lucy, deep down, how does it feel, knowing no one will ever love you. Even like you, only tolerate you..When youâre old, alone, never married, never having anyone a part of youâre of your life, even your cats staying around only for the food and a warm place to stay. .When you die, it wonât be discovered for days, maybe even weeks..So tell me, deep down, how does that make you feel..Mess with me little Ms B.
Someone once said something similar about me-about how I would always be lost in a fog that will ânever burn awayââŠ.âNeverâ turned out to be 9 years long. Donât let the naysayers of the world drag you down, Chuck.
For Chuck: âIllegitimi non carborundum.â______________________
Note: I have also been told that it is said âIllegitimati non carborundumâ, but itâs all faux Latin and as long as the message gets across, thatâs what matters.
Not sure why he WANTS to be a hero. I think thatâs the problem. He canât take the time to just be human, and wants to be something else. Iâm happy just to survive and make a little progress day to day. With 7 billion people on the planet, if everyone thought like CB, weâd have a mass epidemic of depression.
Lucy is by far my favorite character. CB has a very unhealthy self-image and itâs all self-induced. Lucy is just the medicine he needs. Had their lives actually progressed, I could see CB become what heâd like to be just to spite her. Then, when he goes to rub it in her face, sheâll say âI knew you had it in you.â or the like. She doesnât hate him or she wouldnât spend so much time trying to help him (or help him help himself). She reminds me a bit of a newer character, Louise from âBobâs Burgersâ, now that I think about it.

Who was it in Charles Schulzâs life that was so awful he had to make their likeness come out in Lucy?

Luckily for Lucy, Charles Shultz was non-violent. Iâm sure that just about every character has felt like smacking her around every now and then.

Iâd like to know if KARMA ever bit Lucy on the leg when she finally grew up. She certainly was ripe for it.

Nope, Charlie Brown just became a billionaire instead.

Lucy must really âhate herselfâ to act the way she does. Sheâs only happy when she makes someone miserable.

I think Suzy was based on Schulzâs wife. I hear she was not very nice to him.

Lucy would for sure fit the category of a Disney villain
