Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 23, 1962
Transcript:
"Linus is at table writing on a piece of parchment paper; on the floor are several books. <br> <br> Linus, Charlie Brown and Lucy are walking along the sidewalk, surrounded by snow. Lucy puts her hand up to her chin and says, “Oh, No!” <br> <br> The three continue to walk along as Lucy says; “ this is “Show and Tell” day at school, isn’t it? Rats! I forgot to bring something…” <br> <br> They stop and Lucy ask, “Did you remember that this was “Show and Tell” day, Linus?” Linus holds up a clasp envelope and says, “Yes, I have a couple of things here to show the class.. <br> <br> Linus starts to open the clasp envelope while saying to Lucy and Charlie Brown, “ these are copies I’ve been making of some of the Dead Sea scrolls…” <br> <br> Linus holds up the first scroll showing it to Lucy as Charlie Brown looks as well. Linus goes on saying, “ See? This is a duplicate of a scroll of Isaiah Chapters 38 to 40… It was made from seventeen pieces of sheepskin and was found in a cave by a shepherd…” <br> <br> Linus shows the next scroll as he says, “ Here I’ve made a copy of the earliest know fragment ever found… It’s a portion of I Samuel 23:9-16… I’ll try to explain to the class how these manuscripts have influenced modern scholars…” Lucy looks at it while putting her hand up to her chin; Charlie Brown has turned away and seems to rolling his eyes. <br> <br> Lucy says to Linus as he puts away the scrolls, “Very interesting…” Linus replies, “I thought it might be at least faintly appropriate to the season..” <br> <br> Lucy asks, “Are you bringing something for “Show and Tell”, Charlie Brown?” Charlie Brown turns and looks at Lucy and Linus. <br> <br> With a frown on his face Charlie Brown pulls out a small object from his pocket while saying, “Well, I had a little Red Fire engine here, but I think maybe I’ll just forget it.. <br> <br>" dialogue-text,"Linus is at table writing on a piece of parchment paper; on the floor are several books. <br> <br> Linus, Charlie Brown and Lucy are walking along the sidewalk, surrounded by snow.

The fire engine gets more attention if you combine it with the copies of the dead sea scrolls. ^^

Charlie Brown, a little skeptical in panel 7.

Reminds me of another Sunday strip where Linus sees elaborate works of art in the clouds and CB was going to say he saw a ‘ducky’ and a ‘horsey’ but he changed his mind:)

Charlie Brown’s show and tell idea is dead in the water.
