Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 07, 2022

sheesh, Patty Reichardt is ficky when it comes to these kinds of topics, isn’t she?

You can’t explain it. You can’t talk about it. And you can’t hurry it.

Never ask a question to which you don’t want the answer Patty’

Hey Chuck, look on the positive side of things! In the future when you are adults she will likely be yelling at Marcie and not you! Of course you may end up with Lucy after Schroder dumps her to go play piano on a cruise ship or at dinner theaters! Plan carefully Charlie Brown!

You can’t talk about anything with Peppermint Patty. She does all the talking, and she will always put you in the wrong.

I don’t want to rub your nose in it but to love doesn’t mean to lead someone by the nose, Patty. You don’t even need to put your nose to the grindstone or so. That’s as plain as the nose on your face. Straight out and just follow your…uumm ya know what…

I think Patty has some self image issues.

“It isn’t silly, love isn’t silly, love isn’t silly at all” (Paul McCartney)

One of Sparky’s more interesting inspirations: After years of unrequited love, Charlie Brown finds himself uncomfortably on the other side. Sometimes it’s Patty and Marcie bickering over him. At least once it was Patty versus the Little Red-Headed Girl at summer camp. On Sundays it’s just Patty, hanging with the mostly clueless CB and trying to build a relationship. They’re usually posed as they are here, staring into opposite directions as Patty asks a question that’s important to her and his well-intended answer misfires. Compare to Schroder ignoring or insulting Lucy as she insistently leans on his piano, demanding he place her above his music.

Even talking in hypotheticals, Charlie get busted on. He could have been talking about you as an example. You don’t know what he finds cute.

Freckles and a big nose can be cute, Patty. It’s all in the eyes of the beholder.

If you call her ‘Sir,’ she’ll quiet down!! Okay, after saying, ‘Don’t call me “Sir.”’

Just quote to Peppermint Patty, Shakespeare’s sonnet #18:

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” and so on. Just tell her you will not find a definition of love in the dictionary. Love just is. But the Poets since antiquity sure have tried to describe it though.

Peppermint Patty wants to know what love is. She wants Chuck to show her.

To be fair, I imagine too many of us don’t recognize when someone loves us for that first time and are oblivious unless someone spells it out for us, or tells us direct. Not just kids mind you, even adults.

She’s cute because I enjoy seeing her not because someone else tells me so. Cute for me may not be cute for anyone else — but if you are going to live with someone, it ought to be someone you enjoy seeing.

1Co 13:1-13: If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Love is a four letter word.

Peppermint Patty’s nose doesn’t look big to me. Now the King of Id on the other hand….

That is love?

Charlie Browns spent most of his early years wishing someone would love him. But he can’t tell when someone actually does love him (two people actually, not forgetting Marcie in this little triangle)

Peppermint Patty has such a complex about how she looks.

One of my favourites. I think it was adapted to The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show or some other Peanuts special.

Women!!! rolls eyes

Her first question, the answer was to give her a hug and a kiss Chuck.. and your just talking about Poems, prayers and promises.. You have a lot to learn young man!

“Better to have loved and lost, much better.”

Chapter One says you love her You love her with all your heartChapter Two you tell her You never, never, never, never, ever gonna partIn Chapter Three remember The meaning of romanceIn Chapter Four you break up But you give her just one more chance

And ladies wonder why guys talk about sports a lot

Dr. McCoy: You wouldn’t understand that, would you, Spock? You see, I feel sorrier for you than I do for him, because you’ll never know the things that love can drive a man to. The ecstasies, the miseries, the broken rules, the desperate chances, the glorious failures, the glorious victories. All of these things you’ll never know simply because the word ‘love’ isn’t written into your book.

It’s easier for the school building to explain things to Sally than to explain anything to Peppermint Patty.

Love is a bourgeois construct. It’s a blatant fallacy.

You won’t see me with a bunch of roses, promising fidelity.

Love doesn’t mean a thing to me

It is hard to talk about love with very sensitive people.

Love is a friendship caught fire

That is exactly how things have gotten today. Can’t even have a decent conversation of differing views anymore without being blocked from social media, etc.

Love is finding someone who is willing to put up with your crap.

Married 13 years, kiddo. I can’t figure it out, either. LOL

I get high when I see you go by, my, oh my

When you sigh, my, my inside just flies, butterflies

Why am I so shy when I’m beside you?

It’s only love and that is all

Why should I feel the way I do?

It’s only love and that is all

But it’s so hard loving you

Of course, any girl you call in love with is beautiful.

What is love? Baby, don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more…

So my sophomore year of high school I joined a a musical called “The world according to snoopy” and we actually had this scene followed up by a song by peppermint patty called “Poor sweet baby”

So my sophomore year of high school I joined a musical called “The World according to snoopy” and we actually had this scene followed by a peppermint patty solo called “poor sweet baby” pretty cool to relive these moments

Love means never having to say you’re sorry.

“Love is a many splintered thing”… try not to get stuck!

Love is a many splendored thing…I love Paris in the springtime…Love STINKS….All you need is love,,,What’s love got to do with it ?….Love means never having to say you’re sorry…Love is just around the corner…Money can’t buy you love……….

How csn you explain love to a stubborn low-esteem girl like Patty, C.B.? Darned if you do, darned if you don’t…

Charles Schulz was always trying to warn you boys about us girls….LOL

It’s my turn to say: GOOD GRIEF!!
