Transcript:
"You and your insults!" CHarlie Brown glares at Lucy.<br> <br> "Boy, if you weren't a girl..." he thinks, rubbing his hands together. Lucy stands behind him.<br> <br> "I oughta slug you a good one!" He raises his fist at her.<br> <br> "All right, Charlie Brown! COME ON, AND TRY IT!" Lucy clenches her fists and prepares to fight. Charlie Brown is taken aback.<br> <br> "YOU'RE ALWAYS TALKING BIG! NOW C'MON! TRY IT!!" Lucy jumps to his other side and prepares to box.<br> <br> "Fight! Fight!" Violet calls, running up. "Oh, good grief!" Charlie Brown exclaims. "C'mon, Charlie Brown! Put 'em up!" Lucy urges him, still shadowboxing. "FIGHT!" Patty yells as she hurries towards them.<br> <br> "C'MON..I'M READY FOR YOU! PUT 'EM UP THERE!!" Lucy cries, arms out. Shermy, Pig-Pen, Schroder, and Snoopy have also appeared to watch the match.<br> <br> They stare after him as he walks away with his head down. He thinks black thoughts.<br> <br> Charlie Brown sits against the wooden fence with his chin in his hands: "A person shouldn't have to lose all his pride when he's only six years old.."<br> <br>

You can’t win fighting a girl. When you beat her you are the meany who beats girls. And when she beats you you are the looser who got beat by a girl.

Lucy has the fancy footwork down.

The quintessential example of what can happen to us when we actually dare to do something that ordinarily we cannot bring ourselves to do;in this case, something DRASTIC,and we pay the price for our dare by getting challenged and only end up regretting it in the end.

As I said in a previous post, this is why the character of Lucy is so repugnant. She’s a bully and a coward. She regularly assaults the boys, particularly Linus and Charlie Brown, trusting that the boys’ own reservation about hitting girls will keep them from retaliating. Lucy is unadulterated scum.

What makes Lucy think that it’s okay to hit a boy to?

I’m a woman, I don’t think girls/women should hit boys/men any more than the opposite and in fact I think if a woman slaps or hauls off and slugs a man she should expect to get slapped right back! I would hope that if the man is bigger/stronger (not all of them are) he’d temper himself and not put his all into the slap but I do believe the woman had it coming for hitting him 1st. Ideally no one should be hitting anyone!

A prime example of Lucy being an awful person. I’m sure she knew how much Charlie would be humiliated in this moment.
