Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 29, 2023

The assistant is 2 cents more expensive than Lucy… you think there would be a price freeze!

$.07? That’s a 40% increase!

She’s upped her prices by 40%. That is outrageous.

Not a very empathetic assistant. In fact he’s cold as ice.

I see that inflation has kicked the price up to 7¢.

He must be that depressed if he’s willing to go out in the cold and confide in a mere snowman. Why not just talk to Snoopy? Or even Woodstock at this point.

Why is the thermometer reading above 40 degrees F. if it’s supposed to be “freezing” outside?

Finally, a good phycologist.

I’ve felt like that in some therapy sessions. Once I thought the woman was taking notes, but I can read upside down, and I realised she was writing something completely unrelated to the session.

More helpful?

The snowman may be more help than Lucy.

There should be a discount for seeing the assistant.

This is gonna be a long session.

Face it Charlie Brown, you will probably get better diagnosis from the snow man then from Lucy.

at those prices, the assistant better not have a MELTDOWN over what I want to talk about!!!!!!

Her assistant will give you the cold shoulder treatment.

this could also be Calvin. and Suzy.

Well, he IS a good listener, and non-judgmental.

Starts getting dark at 3:30. Then it is 20F degrees out at night and this week it will be -3!!! Depressing.

The ‘assistant’ may be just as good. (It’s probably for the best Schulz passed on before telehealth came along.)

7 cents??!!! That’s a 40% increase. Lousy inflation

Don’t laugh too hard… Schulz may have seen the future.

7 cents !! Thats outrageous!

Never mind Lucy. There’s much better psychiatric care with my cat and she’s nicer about it then that spoiled brat, Lucy.

Inflation I understand. However, not getting what I pay for is something else…..

Am I assuming it’s the exact change only?

talk about getting a cold shoulder! (I’ll show myself out)

Let’s hope this one is a better listener then Lucy.

At 7c its still a good deal. The doctor doesn’t dispense any unwanted advice

They’re a good listener. Free, too.

probably more effective than Lucy

Assistant better advice charge more..

The price went up?

LOL :)

More proof she’s a con artist and not a psychiatrist.

When it’s, like, 100 degrees outside, who would be Lucy’s psychiatric help booth assistant?

It’s good to see Charlie Brown clearly understanding that the psychiatrist is Lucy. Sometimes he seems completely oblivious to the fact. He bares his feelings to her in a way he never would in any other context, and once he felt bad about punching Lucy on the nose, referring to her in the third person.

One time, Lucy had Snoopy subbing for her:
