Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for May 15, 2018

Interesting… today’s regular “Peanuts” is also about what to be when grown-up.

It’ll never happen Charlie Brown; growing up or being perfect.

You’re a long ways off, CB, any way you look at it.

My sister also wanted to be a nurse, and now she is – at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

Good luck…

Good grief!

Don’t we all, Charlie Brown? I’ve learned to shoot for “better than I was yesterday.”

Years after this strip when the question is posed to Linus, his response is “Outrageously happy!”

Years later Lucy will tell us she wants to be a radio talk show host. That was in today’s regular Peanuts from 1971

Work on becoming an imperfectionist, then be imperfect at that…

“What do you want to be when you grow up, Charlie Brown?” “Someone else.”

My mom kept a school memento book for each of us kids, with pockets for report cards and particularly good schoolwork for each grade, as well as school pics, lists of friends, and then this checkbox. I started school in 1968: http://www.qmss.com/users/sewing/images/School_Grow_Up.jpg

Chuck, you need a more attainable goal.

You have become the perfect comic strip character.

Not so hard to do, Charlie Brown – I made It and I know a lot of people believe they made it too!…….

I’d settle for being mediocre.

No, Violet! You wouldn’t make a good nurse. You’re too mean.

No one’s perfect, Charles
