Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 20, 2018

Noticed Schroeder’s little change… normally the operator voice would tell you to try your call again…

quit tying the party line while you’re at it, Lucy

Peanuts, thy name is unrequited love.

The Song, Piano Man by William Martin Joel

That’s cruel.

Shot. Down.

Talk about a brutal letdown!

The best answering-machine message ever, as translated from a Japanese manga:

“Beep. The number you have reached is not in service. If you leave a message after the beep, your house will be engulfed in flames.”

As with Schroeder’s message, it wasn’t actually delivered by a machine.

Well, at least he isn’t leading her on.

Today, Schroeder would use call blocking, caller ID, or ask for a restraining order.

way to go!!!

Quick thinking Schroeder

Such a clever young lad.

He does keep trying to tell her…

At work? Call Schroeder in the middle of a concert? You really don’t get it, do you, Lucy?

Raise your hands kids, who has actually seen a corded phone in use?

Lucy doesn’t know when to stop.

If you tried this trick, they would just call you right back.

Ah, Lucy; shot out of the saddle yet again.

poor lucy

Definitely the wrong number…

That is funny!

How about go and see a psychiatrist, Lucy, see if the “doctor is in”…….

aw…she was so sweet

Even though I know she never will stop: Lucy Van Pelt, you need to stop doing this because you DON’T want to look like a desperate loser…
