Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 14, 2025

Good work, Sally, pad for time.

I agree with Sally. Also, I can’t stand presenters saying “As we all know”. If we all know, why are you talking to us? :D

Literally, Sally! LOL

How many times have you said, " I say this with quite difficulty, that this was the best book I have ever read"?

My least favourite well-used phrase? When people say “it’s fine” in reply to an apology, etc., but very clearly don’t mean it. I’m also not keen on “I’m good” as a response to “How are you?” What phrases of this sort do others here dislike?

She quite simply didn’t read it.

Avoiding the phrase “quite simply” is quite simple. You quite simply leave out the word “quite” and just say “simply”. Quite simple, really.

We have replaced “quite simply” with “literally”

It really makes you think.

Quite simply, her AI writing pal didn’t quite simplify it. Dilly! Dilly!

And what book did you read, Sally?

She hates herself.

Simply the best, better than all the rest…

Sally is quite bizzare.

People who say “quite simply” bug me a lot less than people who use “literally” incorrectly.

You hate the people who say it, or the phrase?

Did Sally change her mind because it was starting to smell?

So just say, “This is the best book I have ever read.” Unless it falls below the book-report minimum word count.

I’d like to “debunk” that theory….

This may be, “quite simply” the best comic strip ever…

Do you mean that you hate people who say the phrase “quite simply”, or those who say the word “quite” in a simple manner?

Although I suppose I can’t think of a complex way to say the word “quite”.

Schulz’s own opinion of “the best book I ever read” might be “The Great Gatsby,” although he was also a fan of “Anna Karenina.”

For me, it’s “Cannery Row.”

I would have said “basically”

It probably ain’t “Ten Days That Shook the World” but I hear that one is real good. I really liked his earlier “Insurgent Mexico”

Or maybe, it’s just the only book you’ve ever read, ba dump bump ! ;-)

Quite simply, so do I.

Quite simply I cannot think of what to say.

Not much of a book report Sally

Or “Um, actually”.
