Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 10, 2022

You also have the right to be demolished since you are falling apart on the students.

you should hit Charlie Brown, he is the blockhead!

Oh good, the school is back.

Don’t take it out on Linus.

My old grade school is now senior housing

Am I the only one who thinks that this feels a little spooky? I mean, Stephen King could run with this storyline.

Typical California school. They keep on falling down on their duties to their students. They used to be pretty good. But today anybody in California with money will send their school aged kids to a private school. And one preferably in another state.

So why does the building take it out on one of it’s future scholars?

Poor Linus… little did he know he would be a victim of a rant!

But be bitter with Lucy, not Linus

That’s your favorite kid’s Sweet Baboo; she will be mad about this

Plus it was only Linus.

“You dropped a brick on me!”

I have very fond memories of my grade school though they’ve changed it since I was there. A turn of the 20th centruy building it had ornate steps leading up to the entrance doors that were set at right angles to the front of the building-the idea was that winter winds wouldn’t blow the length of the building when the doors were opened. When i revisited they had changed it so kids went in a straight line and yup, winter winds go the length of the building.

This remnids me of a line form dicken’s. scrooges house looked so out of place in it’s little square that one imagined it had gone in there while playing hide and seek with other houses and forgot to come out

You’d better stop throwing out those bricks or else you’ll become nothing but rubble.

As all schools should. 2020 has shown us that homeschooling works. Every town needs 1 High school for labs and sports. All other schools should be taken down and those properties are major real estate.Tax payers pay for those schools so with only 1 school in town open the town only has to pay for that one entity of lights and upkeep, all the rest will be major cuts in the budget, and the towns can sell all that property for major assets. Also think back to the pandemic, with all the teachers and students staying home, less traffic, less fuel usage as it pushes $5.00 a gallon, less pollution. Parents will not want this though as schools today are baby sitting services, and also the custodians, bus drivers, crossing guards, big percentage of Principals, Vice Principals, Nurses and cafeteria workers will be out of jobs, but our tax money is paying for all of them anyway..

You have a right to be bitter. You don’t have a right to assault people.

That actually reminds me of my older daughter’s freshman science teacher. He was a frustrated college professor wannabe and took it out on his classes for years. He made the class a nightmare for our girl. Our girl was the first one to actually stand up to him & called a meeting with us, the teacher, and the principal. He decided to retire at the end of that year.

I’m kinda impressed that the building is such a good shot…

Just for that, you shall be torn down and made into a yellow brick road for assaulting the students. What next? You going to attack the janitor that feeds and cares for you?

If the school keeps dropping bricks, eventually he will collapse. Maybe that’s his way of commiting suicide.

A grade school is so much more important! That’s where we learn to love learning, where the base of all learning is established – where we learn to READ!

So did the building intend to uproot itself and relocate? How does that even work?

talk about your innocent passerby

And now Linus begins to worship “The Great BONK!in”…

Poor Linus. Too bad it wasn’t Lucy.

I don’t think that Linus getting hit in the head with a brick—or anyone getting hit in the head with a brick—is funny.

Ah, the legendary Brick of Bitterness. They do tend to weigh you down.

Dreamed of being whizzed on by some drunk frat boys?

My grandson talks about students who identify as “Furries” in school. Anyone ever heard of this?

Maybe that’s why the ceiling fell and killed a couple in the newly built Fort Point Channel Tunnel in Boston in 2006. Maybe the tunnel was mad because it didn’t become the Chunnel like it always dreamed it would.

You have to play the hand you’re dealt…

School Bldgs also have feelings. Too bad Lucy wasn’t bonked instead.

Linus is like Krazy Kat for now.

The brick and mortar also have ambitions and frustrations. No wonder this strip is eternal.

If only that would happen to Lucy!
