I was a bit like Charlie Brown. My wife was not subtle with me.
I was once out on a date with about a dozen of my closest friends and we all went out to a restaurant. The waitress was coming on to me and everyone at the table, except me, noticed it.
Charlie Brown is a cynical sad sack who can’t see what’s in front of him and Peppermint Patty is a lovesick tomboy who can’t see what’s real. Their dynamic is an integral part of the Peanuts.
Wouldn’t you know it…the one time I can remember when Peppermint Patty actually said something poetic and maybe even profound, and Chuck totally blows the moment with a one-liner.

Why does Peppermint Patty even bother having these discussions with Charlie Brown when he mishears certain things?

That was a rough diamond Charlie Brown, for your collar… or bracelet.

Sadly, no one remembers that but you, Charles.

He’s right, life is like a collar, and there’s always someone who thinks they can lead you by jerking you around.

Because Snoopy is a dog and wears collars

‘Peppermint Patty loves’ the girl who calls her ‘Sir’. (Just because Chuck is the focus of today’s strip doesn’t remove all other characters!)

Charlie Brown is right. Life is more like a collar. It looks nice, but can choke you if make a mistake.

spoken like a true dog lover, Charlie Brown.

This is a problem when you answer a question after you have zoned out.

A fancy, diamond-studded collar, or a brutal, choke collar, Chuck? :-P

Five years ago? When he was one?
Then again, that is one of his problems. He learned to talk.

I think this was a set-up for Charlie to admit his crush to Peppermint Patty….

Charlie needs to learn how to pay attention.

I know just how you feel, Charlie Brown.

That was on you, Charlie Brown. She clearly said “bracelet”.

Not, like a collar, definitively life is more like a collar.

Their relationship is a lot like Lucy and Schroder’s.

I remember once back about five years ago… I said the right thing..
“I was alone at the time…”

At this point Peppermint Patty still hasn’t realized that Snoopy is a dog.

Chuck, five years ago you were too young to say anything except “goo goo”.

Wow, Charlie Brown, I can’t remember anything like that in my own life. At least, in conversations with women. Of any age.

some kind of a parallel going on here, another side of the story… https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2019/11/03

I taught my kids: “Life is like a diamond. Some facets tell us who we are, some facts show faults, most show us goodness.”

Buddy, understanding she gender is not easy. BYW Charlie would get romantic ideas when the ’little red haired girl ’ is around.
