Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 06, 2024

at least she knows herself!

Look out…especially Linus and Charlie Brown.

LEWS: Lucy’s Early Warning System. That was considerate of her.

How’s the different than any other day?

Treat me like a fool. Treat me mean and cruel but love me

(The King)

So what else is new, Lucy?

This strip is from 1970 – not 1977. GoComics skipped the April 6th 1977 strip; I guess Snoopy’s observation about hitting a “housewife” with a badly-aimed golf ball was deemed inappropriate.

Day?

I’ll bet Schroeder decided to play I’m Not In Love by 10cc on his piano.

Stop stalking me or I’m calling the police.

So, business as usual, I assume?

WELL…I KNEW IT! Thanks to the skipped 1977 Snoopy plays at the Masters arc strip with mentioning in it “Hit a housewife” we get today for newspapers and sites the January 20, 1970 Peanuts strip. Could it be the “Hit a housewife” strip is POLITICALLY INCORRECT for today’s world? I hope 1977 Peanuts strips resume tomorrow and Monday!!!

Not exactly breaking news

I’m beginning to understand some of the inspiration for Cul-de-Sac’s Alice.

It would be difficult, if not impossible, to do in the style of Schultz, but I’d love to see Peanuts 20 years in the future – Lucy and Schroeder pair up, Sally and Linus, maybe even Charlie Brown and Violet.

Poor Lucy. Even crabs need love.

I prefer how this was presented in The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show. It starts with Lucy yelling “That does it!” before saying what she does in panel 2. If all that had been in panel 1, with panel 2 just showing her smiling waiting for the kiss, I think the humour would’ve hit harder.

And this is different from your usual mood because…?

A big kiss on the nose? That’s Snoopy’s job!

Tell us something we don’t know.

hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Fasten your seatbelts; it’s going to be a bumpy night.

Just the rest of the day? Is she mellowing in her old age?

Lucy is the only person alive with her own civil defense alert.

Lucy you are crabby everyday
