Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 18, 1966

I knew it.

HA BNURN!!!!!!!!!

You did.

Shades of the musical “My Fair Lady,” well, don’t forget, that’s EXACTLY what Professor Higgins discovers in the end, about Eliza—for anyone who’s ever seen the musical, the song, of the title(near the end, right after Eliza has left, out of bitterness over being COMPLETELY IGNORED, after having come such a long way, with a BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT, at becoming a proper lady)—anyway, “I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face.” Yes, well, fairly similar to the way Higgins had ignored Eliza, so had Schroeder ignored Lucy—yet, they both found they had grown "addicted"to having Eliza and Lucy, respectively, around, despite how they really were about their respective “girls.”

ahh schroender when will you just pucker up and kiss the girl already?

I see your My Fair Lady and raise you Starting Here, Starting Now, Schroeder:

“All those pesky little echoes, they’re all gone without a trace—It was good to know I could grow *un*accustomed to your face!”

This strip was adapted into “Play It Again, Charlie Brown” as well as “Is This Goodbye, Charlie Brown?”.
