And in one fell swoop, Violet gets her just desserts for every mean thing she’s ever said to Charlie Brown. I always liked this strip; Lucy’s awesome, in her own unique way.

I’m surprised Lucy didn’t slug Violet. It is obvious that Violet looked confident when she was walking towards Lucy, but what she didn’t expect is for Lucy to return her insults in a much more powerful way! Violet thought that she was going to win and felt utterly humiliated and shattered when she didn’t. Also, I should note that when Violet was crudely insulting Lucy, Lucy didn’t seem to care that much, all she cared is to teach Violet where her place was, unlike Violet who took it way to personally.
