Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 03, 2022

what’s so scientific about power mowers, Charlie Brown?

Life imitates art! Does anybody else remember that movie “The Straight Story” based on the true story of the man who rode his mower from Iowa and Wisconsin?

Lawnmower Man!

Wow, didn’t really mow him over did you Charlie Brown!

So this was the inspiration for that movie of Foster’s Home.

Now, if it was Beethoven riding across America on a power mower, Schroeder would be all in

I think your imagination got lost in the weeds there CB.

Brad Hauter must’ve been inspired in ’99 when he did it

If you have to explain the strip, perhaps it’s not that well written…?

Lawn mower simply doesn’t cut it, CB.

Interesting. Schulz was rather prophetic here. What is it, about thirty or forty years after this one originally ran that that actually happened?

This week’s episode of “The Simpsons” (a rerun, but I still had the first broadcast on a DVR and hadn’t seen it) had a piano prodigy who looked a lot like Schroeder.

Sorry, Charlie Brown! But when it comes to Schroeder, anything to do with Beethoven, grabs his interest.

At least it’s not a terrible pun on music.

Why is there a question mark at the end of Charlie Brown’s remark in the last panel…. I’m saying it out loud in my head and I don’t get it….
