Hee hee! The truth hurts—often the one telling it.

This past Saturday marked the 50th anniversary of this cartoon(it’s May 6, 2014, as I post this comment.) LOL, at Lucy’s expression in Panel 8, “LINUS! Just for that,I’m going to PUNCH you!”and with that,she DOES, in Panel 9. Can’t blame Linus for wanting to draw Lucy’s picture, with the mouth missing—PRECISELY the way he wishes she could, or would be.

Linus is now learning he must suffer for his art.

Linus appears to be quite the budding, young artist. That was a perfect likeness of Lucy.

Linus can draw Lucy almost as well as Schulz!

If he had any brains, he would’ve only drawn the bottom half of the mouth. It would’ve looked like Lucy smiling, and once she moved on, he could’ve added the top bit!
