Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for March 03, 2024

Toys aren’t humans Charlie Brown

No bath swans then.

Lions! Tigers! Bears! Oh my!

Calgon, take me away!

My old tub toys included a pair of plastic fish, a Bugs Bunny sponge, and a Fred Flintstone bubble pipe.

Before the last panel, lots of people looking at me

We used to have Fuzzy Wuzzy soap and Crazy Foam when we were kids.

We used to have each other…no such thing as a private bath.

“Great Scott”? That seems a little out of character.

Mom didn’t want you to be lonely CB.

The theme continues: children acting like adults. It’s amazing to see how Schulz never lost sight of the theme. It’s what makes Peanuts different from all previous ‘kid’ strips.

Language C.B.!…it should be “Good Grief!”

This was before Ernie taught us how much fun a Rubber Duckie can be in the bath!

“Great Scott”? I know of at least one famous movie that used that term, well after this comic was printed.

Whatever happened to “Good grief!”?
