Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 28, 2023

Well Linus, that is one way to handle it…

That’s using your brain , Linus.

oh, how encouraging, Linus

This is true.

Any ideas that don’t involve a trip to intensive care?

Linus has a lot of experience dealing with potential threats of violence.

Now that sound like a real plan! 365 days a year vacation.

Violence at school? (OMG)

A sound plan with realistic outcomes.

His sister has taught Linus so much

Like CB’s “Good Grief!” expression there in the final panel!

LOL, Charlie. Some day you will look back on this and weep at the missed opportunity.

You just explained why he doesn’t say that Linus.

Better to be sitting next to peppermint Patty than lucy

You can’t ever reason with Peppermint Patty.

Well, that’s one solution. The other is to punch Peppermint Patty’s lights out, go to detention and have your parents come and get you, go to your room and play computer games the rest of the day! (Long thinking!)

One thing troubles me. Boys and girls sit together, here? They didn’t where I schooled.

So there is a silver lining after all

Bad idea.

Good point Linus.

A definite possibility if he follows your advice….

It’s pretty hard to enjoy being out of school …….. if your in traction ….. :)

Good plan; school sucks.

If Peppermint Patty hits Charlie Brown, she might end up taking up her own hiatus from school.

But he wants an education, Linus.

Patty’s my kind of girl. Let her grow up and she’ll be your best friend, Chuck. My mom was a Patty type when she was a little girl and she grew up to be a fine woman. My wife is a Patty type and she’s as fine as they come.
