Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 27, 2024

eww…

Give her a star in persistence.

She’s hungry for attention.

If you can’t join ’em, lick ’em.

She’s definitely licking something!!

When you lic…. wish upon a star.

Stars I always saw came in multiple colors in the box. You couldn’t just buy gold ones.

Man, life before video games, huh?

I guess we all have our way of getting attention, lol!

I don’t thin brown nosing is gonna get you a gold star, Patty.

Aren’t gold stars nowadays peelable rather than lickable?

Awww Poor Peppermint Patty. Give her a silver star.

Gold star by association.

In hopes one will stick to her tongue, then she can say she got a gold star for licking.

Nothing to do with gold stars, but a quote I love:

I don’t know much about philately, but I know what I lick."

Philip French

At least a sack of flour gets a gold star

I think Sparky had a troubled childhood. I realize more and more reading this stuff many decades later that Patty is some kind of a commentary on latch key kids. Give the kid a break OK??? ;-)

Never drop a box of your teacher’s gold stars on a shag rug

You’d think they would’ve been self-adhesive. Yuck.

Awww, now I remember the arc for this series of strips. Poor Peppermint Patty.

All children deserve a star irrespective of their performance. Only some teachers can appreciate this.
