That would be perfect

Good point?

But if Hector isn’t Ruiz’s son, who is?

Marcy’s got a point, Joe.

Love the subtle reminder that it’s Valentine’s Day in the first panel…

Blah blah blah…

Umm Joe, aren’t you supposed to be handling that robbery of sports goods?

Well that last panel is certainly enough to send him to the precinct psychiatrist with something to talk about.

Practically a confession.

Uh-oh, now he’s gonna wonder!

Off topic, about the PEANUTS Special

Being of the group who think “exclusive” cable companies should be hanged in public, I’ll never see that episode. But I liked the articles I’ve seen on it. In t he opening arc, Franklin said his father was in Vietnam.

I remember the SECOND Franklin arc. The strip is divided into two neighborhoods—the original characters on one side and Peppermint Patty,Marcie, and Franklin in the other.

Franklin wandered in looking for Charlie Brown—-most of kids wondered why ANYBODY would look for Charlie Brown. Then Franklin got a load of Linus and his blanket and Snoopy’s “Flying Ace” bit,anddecided to go back to his own neighborhood where kids behaved normally.

And if Franklin thinks he can win a sporting event with Charlie Brown as a partner,he really IS the new kid in the neighborhood!!

Someone is starting to becoming a bit paranoid.
