Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 17, 2015

No, Schroeder, I did not know that.

Its 58 days away.

Wow, a beagle in goggles ain’t weird to Franklin but celebrating Beethoven is? I mean as much as I like Lins’s enthusiasm for the Great Pumpkin I can absolutely see why some folks would think that a little strange. Schroder’s celebrating Beethoven is a lot more normal, but check out Franklin’s comment in that final panel. Ok, I’ll give you the count down to Beethoven’s birthday is a little over the top.

Nice to know CB is the most normal kid in the gang…

Not staying around for the memorial piano recital, then…

60-61 more days until Beethoven’s Birthday, that is. 61 days for today – October 17, 2015; 60 days for tomorrow – October 18, 2015.

Shouldn’t he have said, “This neighborhood has me shaken.”?

At least Franklin knows that Snoopy is a Beagle and not a funny looking kid.

I find it interesting that everyone, except Peppermint Patty, calls him by his full name – Charlie Brown. Except for the Van Pelts, I’m not sure I ever knew the last names of the other characters.

Yeah, and only 69 more shopping days till Christmas:Today, October 17; through December 24, Christmas Eve — yep, only 69 more shopping days till Christmas!

Don’t forget 5, full name 555 95472.

And Tapioca Pudding. And Charlotte Braun.

At least Franklin didn’t have to show his pass card to come into the neighborhood (see today’s DOONESBURY).

People who are easily weirded out are so boring!! I quote George Weinberg: “What worse illness can there be than acute conventionality. You should pray every night that you don’t wake up with it.” I wonder what Franklin would have made of Pig-Pen… Instead of Schroeder, Schulz might have drawn Pig-Pen suffocating Franklin with his dust cloud – that would have been more effective, IMO.

Also note that Schulz’s signature is in panel 3 instead of panel 4.

He didn’t mind the “Girl in the Booth”

Are you serious?

How unfortunate…

So the original order of the strips was changed so that today’s strip would make Schroeder’s statement of 60 days until Beethoven’s birthday accurate. Cool!

And somebody else’s. Right, Number Three?

Franklin picks up the essence of Peanuts in one visit. “Like wow!”

oh, Good Grief!
