It’s not that you’re a failure,Marcie—like you said, there is no such thing, as a stomach-ache charity! And yes, PP and CB, you might as well cancel it, if no one is interested, in such a POINTLESS affair.

This is stunning and just what Schulz, I mean, Charlie Brown always wanted to hear. Whoo hoo! A baseball win and a smooch in one year. Wow!

Abject purposeless failure is the ending and futility is the punchline.

And above all, just 50 days ago to be exact(I just calculated), Peppermint Patty told Chuck he’d never hear any girl tell her just what SHE ends up telling him HERSELF in the last panel-IMMEDIATELY after snuggling up to him and kissing him on the ear-PRECISELY what he had wished for. Shame on you, Patty, for thinking this would never happen with Chuck, when you were kind enough to do it yourself.
