Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 27, 2023

Very truly unreliable.

But she never let go of a football.

Later, Sally decided to train a balloon to return to her hand when she released it. “Ok, balloon?” “Balloon?”

Wait until she gets a hold of a football, Chuck.

Why do Americans call that a ball? It’s not even round.

Not to mention you hardly ever play it with your feet.

Should be called handoblong.

Lucy is a “wise aleck”!

Skipped Sunday strip from October 9, 1955. To get there, delete “-begins” from the gocomics address above and change the date to "1955/10/09 so that it reads “peanuts/1955/10/09”.

My retirement philosophy

Not that Lucy is very reliable to begin with, save for pulling a football away.

Why, Lucy?

Have you ever tried holding the string under your tied shoe while you tend to the laces on the other one?

Oh no, your actions are totally predictable….

Ahhhhh. Less reliable every day……just like Chinese imports.

“Want a balloon, Charlie? They float! Down here, we all float, And you’ll float to. Oh, Chuck, how’ll you’ll FLOAT”

She did that on purpose.

And she took such joy in telling him that.

Lucy personifies every mean kid any of us ever had to contend with.

Cruel kid.

Wait til he asks her to hold a football…
