Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 17, 2021

well done, Mr. Reichardt, at planning your daughter to be self-reliant in the kitchen

If it were Charlie Brown, it would be blockhead lunch.

Peppermint Patty, you need to get a Tutor. One who understands your problems. You are obviously not stupid. But you do seem to have some type of learning block. So get some help. Charge ahead in education like you do in sports.

PP, have your dad look into a suitable Military Academy for you …

What would a bonehead lunch be like?

Isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to see to it that kids that age eat properly?

“Bonehead lunch”…would that be a class taught by Snoopy?

All this stuff about going back to school in august? Is this new or just regional? Where I grew up in NY we went back in September.

Maybe Patty needs to start moderating sports and her schoolwork. Either that, or she needs a brain transplant.

I always thought of her as more of a knuckle head.

If her dad is making comments like that, no wonder she’s struggling in school and has such low self-esteem.

PP is lucky they let her go to school! She is not the best candidate to represent a scholar at the school.

This made me laugh out loud—what a gift these days!!!—both because it is so funny and because I remember it.

If a kid at that age is not doing what needs to be done, parents aren’t doing their job.

I think he’s signing her up for a course she’s already taking. He might want to try smarty pants lunch instead.

With a wonderful father like that, I’ll bet she grows up properly adjusted.
