Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 12, 2022

bravo, Lucy

Yup. I used to work in a language school. Everyone was obliged to take at least one class of under-14s a week. These were the kids whose parents wanted them out of the house, and the kids knew it. They didn’t want to be there. English twice a week, swimming or riding three times a week, gymnastics or team sports on the weekends.

Lucy’s mother too!

That would be about $125 today…

Too bad Tik Tok wasn’t around yet. Lucy has enough there to go viral.

I wonder if she had a dance scene in Flash Beagle.

I don’t know much about dancin’, that’s why I got this song.One of my legs is shorter than the other and both my feet’s too long…Lucy’s a dancin’ fool

That’s equivalent to $132 now.

And a new TikTok star is born.

Inflation isn’t that crazy — $12 is about $30 in today’s money. It would still be a silly amount to pay if the whole goal wasn’t getting Lucy out of the house. As it is, it’s a bargain.

looks like the hokey – pokey to me

You wuz robbed!!

From the classic sci-fi TV series Babylon 5:

I see where series creator Joe Straczynski got his idea.

$12 when this was written. In 2022 about $500.

Well worth the money….

Ah, some of the beginnings of A Charlie Brown Christmas.

I mentioned animated “Peanuts” cartoons, so those dance moves were seen on them.

Using an inflation calculator (at https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/), $12 in 1954 would be about $132 today, looks likewi3leong was correct, lol.
