Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for June 15, 2020

time for Charlie Brown to get a new glass of milk, but hopefully with a childproof lid with a straw hole

…but the milk is

Very mean trick! Get her Charlie!

Hah! This reminds me of the joke about the little kid who asked his mom why she was sticking a knife into the cake she was baking. Her answer was, “I do this because it will tell me when the cake is finished; the knife will come out clean”. A little while later, the kid ran into the other room to tell his mom, “Guess what. I just cleaned all of the dirty knives!”

Watching TV in our living room as kids, my brother would wait till I’d get up to go to the kitchen for a snack and ask for me to bring him the same. I got tired of that ploy.

One night I said I was going to get some chocolate milk, and he made his usual request. I brought him the milk, but dosed it with blue food coloring… which made it a sickly gray color. He refused to drink it, so I did. I thought that might break him of his habit of getting me to do his kitchen run for him, but no.

I finally made that happen the night he asked me to bring him a glass of Coke when I went to get mine. This time, I dosed it with garlic juice. No change in color… but….

After that, he quit requiring that I run his snack errands.

Lucy would never do that these days, for the obvious reason.

She wants to have clean hands to hold the football.

Her meth eyes are starting to look a bit more normal.

Seeing the very old strips in colour makes me realize just how much Charlie Brown looks like caillou

And thus it began…

Now, that’s the REAL Lucy I remember.

This is just plain weird, Lucy.
