Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for December 03, 2018

NOW how is Linus s’posed to entertain himself if Lucy won’t permit him to play with ANYthing?

Somebody needs to slap that girl into next week.

And so it begins…

This is one of the earliest ones I remember from when I was a kid. It always reminded me of my little brother, because he was a jerk. Constantly stealing my toys.

Now he’s over 50, and I get back at him by stealing one of his socks every time I go to his house.

Lucy was a dick from the very start

If I were Linus, I would have shot the rubber band at her. (My brothers would do that to me; to this day I get nervous whenever someone stretches a rubber band near me.)

“Misery loves company”

No wonder Linus had a blanket . . .

I thought her last name was van Pelt, not Trump.

Wow. I remember this one in the paper.

Another old favorite.

Just use your IMA-GI-NA-TION.

Linus: go see Garfield Classics today. Garfield’s new game will entertain you!

Lucy is just making sure that she will get many clients seeking psychiatric help at her work stand at five cents per session.

I wonder how many of those toys actually belong to Linus.

I grew up with this strip and I was always frustrated that Mrs Van Pelt never caught Lucy in the act.

Down! Down! Down! Go! Go! Go! Mine! Mine! Mine!

Sometimes the simplest is the most fun.

Probably how a lot of misogyny is born – horrible sister(s) and a mother who doesn’t protect you.

This was always one of my favorite strips. (I identify too much with Linus.)

wow, Lucy was meaner than I remembered! And I read all those old ones back when!

Face it! Lucy never wants Linus to have fun!

What a brat. Lucy was the original Angelica Pickles
