Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 17, 2023

When did she raise her price?

at least you have dealt with your inferiority complex CB…

You’re the ten of hearts , Charlie Brown.

In that sense, every card can take a trick in a game. So it doesn’t really matter what you are, just wait for your turn to be the trump.

…how, precisely, does an eight year old know a thing about bridge?

From a Jack to a King (Ned Miller) or Ace of Spades (Motörhead)

If there were a one half of clubs, he’d be it.

“I’m a Joker…..”

The joker would have been the better choice for Charlie Brown.

Life is tricky, Charlie Brown.

Even when Charlie Brown wins, it’s just a hollow victory. For instance, when he won a free trip to the barbershop, he couldn’t use it because his dad is a barber and because he ain’t got hair anyways.

Special Sunday rate, Lucy?

10c for special advice, 5c for regular advice

She used to charge 5¢. Inflation and Bidenomics strke again!

wondered that too

I remember watching her set up her psychiatric stand in the Christmas Special. Try not to fall for it again, Charlie ;)

This makes me think there’s gotta be a Peanuts deck of cards out there with characters on them!

Sooo…CB is a bridge player? Who’dve thunk! I can’t recall any earlier references to his bridge playing.

Maybe Charlie Brown is the Joker, but the joke is on him

Charlie Brown is kinda down because baseball season is almost over,and Lucy knows it, 10 cents please.

Good Lord Lucy’s fee has doubled?? Stupid inflation (her advice got a little better though)

Remember, Charlie: Even the Bible says to everything there is a season. (If I trigger the one song by The Byrds as man earworm, I apologize. Even I got hit by it.)

CB, I’ll give you some free advice: Lucy’s a quack.

But in Hearts, the two of clubs is played first. The only way the two of clubs will take a trick is if the player has all the rest of the clubs.

Inflation in the ’70s. Prices were doubling everywhere!

But Lucy also makes a really good point—we in America are constantly told that success comes largely from climbing the ladder to become a leader…but if everyone expects to be a leader, who is left to be led?

Oh Charlie Brown, take your ten cents and buy a Spaldeen and go out and play with Snoopy and have some fun.

she puts her 2 cents worth in but charges 10 cents

Could be worse, Chuck. You could be the card that shows the strength of each poker hand, the one that always gets thrown away once the pack is opened

Twos are sometimes wild, depending on the game. Canasta.

You’re the 1 of clubs, a card made by mistake that isn’t supposed to be in any deck and isn’t usable in any card game.

If it’s romance you’re concerned about, try watching 90 day fiancée. I can’t go through a 30 second clip on YouTube without feeling disgusted with the people on the show – and fortunate that I’m not one of them.

Charlie Brown is that card in the box with all the instructions printed on it. It can’t win any game, and most people completely ignore it.

Poor Charlie Brown!

Meet the joker in the deck.
