Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for June 05, 2023

shocking truth, isn’t it?

Sounds like a Talking Heads song

Yeah… and… ?

“Rows of houses that all look the same, and no one seems to care”! (Pleasant Valley Sunday, the Monkes)!

Is this Linus’s first worded thought balloon?

And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same….

Hey, if the plural of mouse is mice, shouldn’t the plural of house be hice? She’s saying it wrong!

Such a big world and so many people!

You know, that was a revelation for me, too.

I miss the neighborhood I grew up in – about 20 streets then cross over a 2 lane and another 15 or so streets, could walk for hours, most were flat. Then I lived in small neighborhoods, were 4-8 streets to walk, now I live in country, no place to walk, so shoulders on the road. When I win lottery, I’ll move back to old neighborhood, it’s still very nice of course I’d have to buy a lotto ticket to possibly win ;-)

I remember thinking “Wow, people live here!” when on a field trip with my grade 4 class to Vancouver Island. The first time I was aware there was a world beyond my little neighbourhood

A lot of these early strips didn’t really have a punchline

Scary, if you think about it. Endless urban sprawl.
