OK… So looking at the picture of the kite on the ground, it does not have a ‘bow’ built into it. With out the bow, the kite will not fly. The bow causes the kite to lift and become stable in the wind. When I was younger, I knew a girl that was trying to fly a kite without a bow. she could not get it to climb. The kite acted like C.B.’s kite in this comic (minus the tree). I took a piece of the string and put in the bow. It went up without running.

somehow, Charlie Brown, your kite — as well as your allowance — seems less heavy

I love Charlie’s attitude about never giving up, but sometimes you can take even that too far.

It would have been more merciful if you had just let the tree eat it…..
