Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 24, 2025

Being punched out is worse than a lot things.

So did you get punched, Sally? (Nah, Schulz would have shown her with rumpled hair at least if that had happened.)

Question: I’ve always wondered if Sally wears a bow in her hair on the front, or if it’s curls on her forehead? (I’m extremely nearsighted). As a kid I always saw it as some kind of hair bow thing. Probably curls, but looking at the rest of her hair it seems straight…and cut like a barber did it.

She should have bought him a metric ruler

The threat of violence is all you need to do the right thing.

Thus endeth the lesson.

Daily comic read: 2

I convinced her.

Punched out! Did she try and borrow his paper punch too?

a.n.y.w.a.y……………getting back to the strip. Sally learned a good lesson.

Things were simpler then. These days, the kid’s father would have sued Sally’s family.

Now the kid is happy with the ruler.

Was it a 12 inch ruler?

Sally always has a unique pop

Sure, let’s go with that.

Sally might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least she knows the correct contraction of “you are” (unlike 99% of the intra-web)

In the TAMPA BAY TIMES today the story involves Snoopy once again being shredded by the cat WWll.

True.

Good, you should have bought him a new ruler. If someone else’s property is lost or broken while you’re borrowing it, you’re responsible!

Sally made it by inches…

Tomorrow Sally will ask the same kid—“Are you drinking the rest of that milk?”

It’s 1978, you’re out 50 , 75 cents maybe, if only lessons were always this affordable ! ;-)
