Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 16, 2019

Citation needed, Crabby.

From what I read about Brahms, he would have preferred the kiss himself…

Whos Brahms

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.

You got to give her credit. She never stops trying

Not unless he was Brahms and Liszt.

Well, Barry White would have wanted you to.

Maybe he would if Beethoven was a prankster.

Change your name to Elise. You’ll have more chances.

Liszt certainly would approve!

Wow, GoComics really timed today’s strip well: Happy Birthday, Beethoven! https://www.biography.com/musician/ludwig-van-beethoven

If any classical composer would be up for a kiss … it would be Mozart .. who had a very naught/mischievous side to his personality.

So, were you saying that it was Beethoven’s will for you to be kissed by Schroder, Lucy?

I wouldn’t bet on it.

WWSD? (What Would Shostakovich Do?)

Schroeder should know that hero worship is unhealthy.

Ya know what the world famous composer does just before every every Christmas concert? Makes a Liszt and checks it twice.

I just made that up. Can you tell?

Play Brahms’ Third Racket.

Sorry Lucy, Schroeder just can’t Handel it.

Schroder, can’t you play a chord of discordance to Lucy’s demands? She might, just might, find that noteworthy.

Musicians play a lot of love songs, but they really aren’t romantic. (Didn’t Lucy say that once?)

Next December 16th will be a very big one: 250th. Freude!!

Yeah, but Brahms had a thing for Schumann’s wife.

When Schulz invokes Brahms, he means business. He preferred Johannes to Ludwig, though he liked them both.

Next time, say Mozart, Lucy. He was a serious smoocher.

Beethoven had several tragic love affairs, but I’m not aware of Brahms having any romantic entanglements.

When Schroeder grows up, will he become Liberace?

OK. Maybe Arnold Schoenberg….

I’ll be making the traditional Beethoven’s Birthday meal of macaroni and cheese (Beethoven’s favorite food*) for dinner tonight.

*according to Schroeder

Not even a hug?

After knowing about Brahms from the comments, I understand Lucy is not naive to the music world. She does have a standing on her own!

I love how Schroder sticks his tounge out

“Brahms spelled backwards is ‘Smharb’!” – Victor Borge. :)

Bach would have.
