Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 26, 2023

None of them can out Charlie Brown you, Charlie Brown.

I can remember having a feeling like that, way back when. Well, actually, not so way back!

This feeling never EVER goes away…

I believed that about myself until I headed up a group quilting project and the Little Miss Perfect who supposedly could do anything made a total hash of sashing and joining the blocks. She also took forever to return the finished top. When I got it back I could see why! I heard myself say, “I can do better than that in my sleep!”People can’t necessarily do it better, CB. They just have more confidence than we do.

Good grief!

However many people are in my country, I’ll bet everyone of them can do a couple of things better than I can, but I doubt any one of them can do just about everything as reasonably as I can.

When averaging was being spread out, I was dead center in the middle.

Maybe your odds are better today Charlie. There’s over 37 million.

Not whining, Charlie Brown… ☺

None of them are as funny as you.

See if any one of those boys can carry a comic strip for 50 years. And have an Apollo Moon mission named after them. HA

Maybe, maybe not…

But none are as well known as you are Charlie Brown, and none are as well loved.

“Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me?”

You are the star of the best strip in history for longevity.
