Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 16, 2024

Wasn’t it Lucy who got him that bean bag chair, so he could enjoy watching tv in the first place?

Watching TV with a blanket. What a life.

Go thou and do likewise, Lucy, and leave Linus alone. Instead of hassling your brother you could be doing all those things yourself.

You can read a book during the commercials. I often have the TV on while cleaning. It’s called multi tasking Lucy. No need to watch TV while outside however.

When I listen to people talk about the shows they watch on TV, it amazes me how uninformed I am.

I presume Lucy wants Linus to do that so she can watch TV herself.

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” ‘Groucho’ Marx

Television can take you to all forms of entertainment. Provided there’s anything good on.

There’s the internet and social media too!

Finally, Sally has something in common with her Sweet Baboo.

When I hear what people watch on TV, I’m relieved and pleased to know how uninformed I am…

Fantasizing about marriage to Schroeder again, Lucy? (With a dash of motherhood?)

It began with radio and accelerated with TV….

Why do I have the feeling that Lucy just wants to watch TV for herself.

Linus’s punch line has real wit — not that I ever doubted Schulz’s ability in that regard!

My family was glued to the TV when I was a kid. I came to despise the poor writing in my teens and left TV behind. I’ve never gone back.

Wow, sounds exactly like my wife if you substitute doing yard work for playing

Lucy, there are alot of things you could be doing besides nagging your brother.

don’t try to unwrap that – you’ll get a headache

That’s why you should be out there doing them.

Pfft! Calvin’s dad would have thrown him out of the house!

you tell her Linus!

Linus was right. Drop dead, Lucy.

ello mate

Instead of being a self-righteous, overbearing pest, she could live and let live and get a life!

“Lucy, while you’re up, can you get me some Chex?”

A snack the Peanuts used to do commercials for.

Uh, she’s trying to get the T.V. from you.

TV The Drug Of The Nation Or As Mark E Smith Calls It “The Tragic Lantern”

Are all big sisters snarky and tattle tales? Mine sure was, haven’t talked to her in 20 years.

Once I broke my cable bill down to a dollars per hour actually watched, even adding in VCR recording, I was paying too much for too little. Given that now I’d have to add multiple streaming services, it’s worse. I have found I can cope quite nicely without them.

I think Lucy wants someone to hang out with her. If she wanted the TV spot, she would have just taken it.
