Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 28, 2024

Fifty cents? That’s what, 6 months wages for you at your stand?

I forgot Lucy’s contributions to this arc.

Here comes the judge.

You forgot the “Order in the courtroom!”

Good old EPA!

Highly silly…

I read the whole story arc in the local paper.

r/treelaw, eat your heart out!

They’ll claim jurisdiction over anything.

50 cent says, “it’s your birthday!”

Don’t listen to that bark-breath!

Big EPA is watching you, Chuck!

Even if Lucy loses the bet, she’ll get it all back from all the psychotherapy C.B is gonna need.

A nickel at a time.

Nowadays this is not so much of an exaggeration.

Just how did the EPA hear of this, alleged, tree biting? Who’s the rat?

That’s right, CB; use the “don’t get mad, get even” defense…

Or give you the electric chair.

Next time, Chuck, be old, rich, and sociopathic. Then you can get away with destroying the environment without repercussion.

This storyline isn’t much more realistic than Woodstock being introduced as a helicopter pilot.

What a friend we have in Lucille.

Are these just old recycled comics or are they new one’s passed down to Charles’ son?

It is coming to that

Someone had to see him do it, know who it was, and then report it. If I saw a kid biting a tree in the ‘70s, I’d just chalk it up to kids doing stupid things.

Don’t hire Lucy as your “attorney”

Violence is never the answer.

Charlie Brown won’t get thrown in the slammer; he’s only a little kid.

Charlie Brown might try to recite the poem….(I think I may never see…a poem lovely as a tree.)

Charlie Brown could just chop down the tree if he wanted too, but then the environmental agency will be annoyed at that.

Next stop…hobo jungle

I heard from a little bird it was a “Spotted Owl” that ratted him out.

Yeah. The “getting even” defense MIGHT just go over in court, CB!

Don’t Pine, Charlie Brown. Ignore your sweaty Palms. Your future is still Evergreen. What are you worried Fir? It’ll be Oak. Those Beeches at the EPA are only trying to Curry favor.

The tree will take the stand

Lucy is ral cheerful

Did he really say that?
