Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 21, 2014

You should not trust a tree any time.

Never ever trust a naked tree.

Nothing worse than a hungry kite eating tree!

There’s a very slight chance that Charlie Brown may be stronger than he looks…

Words to the wise, Linus.

Forgot about the kite eating tree story line…….tis a good one.

The thing about kites – they come with strings attached.:-)

Twenty-four kites? After the second one my mother wouldn’t buy me another!

Charlie Brown saved Linus from being tourtured but not devoured by the Kite Eating Tree in wintertime!

Naw, the tree got it’s fill during summer and is hibernating for the winter, it will wake up in spring HUNGRY!

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about the dreaded kite-eating trees, it’s this:

their bite is MUCH worse than their bark.

At least it’s not “The Whomping Willow”.

Maybe Chuck could borrow his Dad’s chainsaw and be rid of the kite-eating tree once and for all.

It eats pianos, too

Is this the first appearance of the kite-eating tree?

Maybe if someone knew how to fly a kite, that wouldn’t happen.

Linus’s brand of hogwash is based on belief: I believe in the Great Pumpkin. Charlie Brown’s brand of hogwash is based on experience and evidence: I saw that tree eat 24 of my kites, therefore it is bound to be dangerous if there are no kites to eat. It’s religion vs science.

If I remember, at one point Lucy got mad at Schroeder and threw his piano into the kite-eating tree. You could hear munching.

gee that kite eating tree looks funny without leaves, eh?!!!!!….wouldn’t it be great if we could throw Vladimir Putin into that tree????!!!!…that guy’s a homophobe
