Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 27, 2018

Well that was exactly the reality you got, so go figure

Doubt we’ll ever actually know. If he did, then she was so unimportant that history neither records her name or her bring flowers to his piano.

Ludwig didn’t have much a romantic life either.

That’s exactly what he heard!

It wasn’t exactly the question he wanted to answer.

There were a few women in Beethoven’s life, but he never married any of them. Josephine Brunsvik was too high class for marriage to be even considered, even though she reciprocated his love, and Moonlight Sonata was dedicated to her. His proposal to Therese Malfatti was unsuccessful, and she is believed to be the supposed dedicatee of “Für Elise”. There is also an “Immortal Beloved”, though her identity is still a mystery.

It was actually a nice gesture by a person not known for her nice gestures.

Beethoven apparently had several women who bugged him enough he dedicated music to them. Whether any of them brought him flowers may not be known.

Schroeder’s direct response may send Lucy looking for the professional help she normally offers.

Ah, The softer side of Lucy, and yet she senses the cold hand of rejection. Is there no balm to ease her inflamed ego?

No, but is exactly what you do.

The flowers even seem to droop a little in the last panel. . .

The GoComics’ colorist got Schroeder’s hair wrong.

Next time bring him a candelabra.

Tough.

How do you know? They don’t us everything about the past.
