Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 30, 2023

Time for a seat change, stat!

The class would be more surprised of Peppermint Patty had the right answer.

“Six” is always the wrong answer.

While the rest of the class debated whether the answer was 39 or 40, I kept quiet while wondering how I ended up with 9. Suffice it to say math and I have not been on speaking terms since 2nd grade.

You would have been made a fool when the teacher says that is incorrect and another student says 3,

When she enters high school, she’ll get poor grades in algebra, geometry, and trig, just like I did.

Chuck should have sat with Marcie instead. She would probably on the same page as “Charles” most of the time and probably would get more answers correct than Chuck as opposed to P Patty who has been known to get the occasional “Z” grade from her teacher.

No, he just doesn’t want to fail the class!

6 + 3 = 63

Patty is hilarious.

No, he simply don’t look at you in that way.

For the little red haired girl, he would have said three.

Sir, you are already a fool.

Peppermint Patty, you’ve always been a fool.

If you can’t handle criticism, don’t run for office

P.P. you’re terrible at math but you’re right about C.B. He doesn’t like you.

Nobody likes you, Patty.

I failed math class so many times that I can’t count them all.

Farthest I ever got was trigonometry (never said I understood it). To me a sine was something that stuck out of the ground on street corners, cosine was something you did on loan applications, and tangent was something I would go off on in conversations.

Patty’s a bundle of underdeveloped emotions today. Hang in there, kid!

Because it’s new math, new-hoo-hoo math, It won’t do you a bit of good to review math, It’s so simple, so very simple, that only a child could do it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6OaYPVueW4

Six of one, half of six the other.

I wouldn’t have any trouble with math if it didn’t have all those number things.

On behalf of mathematicians everywhere: I love math!

As I once said to someone. ’It’s not a matter of dislike. I just prefer other company. ’

And as Professor Lou Costello once said—7 into 28 goes13 times

He likes her enough to correct her mistake.

Marriage in a nutshell….part 2

I seem to remember this playing out in one of the animated specials. I don’t recall which one though.

The rebuilding of Charlie Brown’s own school sure is taking its time.

Actually, Peppermint Patty, you look like a fool in front of the whole class without any help.

C.B. could answer PP’s remark with a quote from Lovelace: I could not love thee, dear, so much, Lov’d I not Honour more.

If the question was “Name one of 5’s sisters.” Charlie Brown is right cause their names are 3 & 4. And they all appear in A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Come up on a famous PP saying in one, which was also the title of one of the books. No spoilers, though.

Kill the Messenger.

When this was adapted into “Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown,” the math question was dividing 75 by 25 (yep, the teacher spoke clear English!) Peppermint Patty woke up from her nap and said “I’m awake, I’m awake! The answer is twelve!” When the teacher says it’s incorrect, the dialogue from this strip then plays out.
