Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 28, 2022

Well, excuse the school building for being old and crummy, Lucy! Maybe if your parents helped pitch in some funds.

You tell her, Mr. School Building!

You should have listened to Pink Floyd Lucy, “all in all, you’re just another brick in the wall!”

No school for Lucy now, for that coma she’s going to be in.

(Answering the building’s question) You fell asleep.

That’s what you get for being a crabby fussbudget, Lucy.

NO, THEY DON’T……

“Hit her again, hit her again, harder, HARDER … " (old HS football chant)

That building ain’t gonna take any of Lucy’s guff.

Summer? What happened to my 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and most of my 60s?

As for August, there’s only 3 days to go in the month.

When is Lucy going to learn not to bad mouth the old school building.

We really need giving all the money to all the schools we can provide. The teachers that are still there do a tremendous job of caring for our kids, settling their fights, feeding them and, from time to time, getting in a little teaching of language, science, geography, and math. Hey, if nothing else, they’re the best buy in child care out there.

They gotta stop replacing that brick. It’s gonna hurt somebody.

“Back to school.” Three meanest words in our language.

Hey kid, don’t p*$$ off us oldsters. The older we get, the less “Life in prison” has any deterrent!

If you can find waste in public schools, feel free to point it out. Trying to do the best they can with inadequate funding is pretty much the norm, and if you can find an extra couple of dollars to fund needs that are not being met, I’m sure they would appreciate it.

Now….. GET OFF MY PLAYGROUND!!

That building needs to be inspected.

I can’t believe it will be 3 years since Toronto man came back from China of the first case of Corona!

Nothing faster than August! I loved this strip and always read it daily. Today I laughed out loud not once, not twice, but 3 times. So freaking true! Thanks!

school is the best example liberal/commie !@#$

School Building, I like ya. But if you think I’m not gonna criticize the olds, maybe stop whining about the young’uns and about how great things were in your day (when certain people weren’t allowed in certain restaurants) first. Also stop voting and being in positions in power.

“Hey man, nice shot!”

Yeah!

Will Lucy never learn?

They fumbled with Covid when they closed the schools, they should have stayed closed.1- Leave one school in each town open for Labs, theatrics and sports .2-Sell off all other schools and the country makes billions for property values plus those schools you do not need, Principal, vice principal, office staff, nurses, lunch staff, bus drivers and hall moniters again saving the country Billions of dollars.3- Would not need substitute teachers! would save millions on the budget!We got along for 1 year perfectly with this and colleges have been doing it for years!

i started high school in RI, and we had graffiti on our desks from the Civil War

I keep asking myself the same question… what did happen to June, July, and August?

Name the school after Ignatz.

If I knew what the building looked like, I might agree.

It was never the building that made me dread going back to school. Though as I look back on it now, there was only one school where I looked forward to being back in the building even though I didn’t look forward to being back in school. All the rest I was either indifferent to or didn’t particularly notice the building because I was too young.

I, too, am an aging structure. But I cannot drop a brick on your head. That would be silly. But I can deal you a right ding around the head and shoulders with my cane. Please bear that in mind the next time you’re tempted to say, “C’mon, gramps. Get a move on.” I’m probably moving as fast as I can. Thank you. Signed, Your Friendly Neighborhood Curmudgeon.

That school building must be as old as dirt.
