Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 19, 2024

I don’t get it…

The accommodations are not great but at least Ruby seems to care about CB more than any of his usual friends (outside of Linus).

The rental rate on the box is 5 cents.

You need to go home, CB.

Tell the truth CB.

With the rents here in Florida going through the roof so that many even with jobs are having trouble paying their landlord. Evictions are at an all time high and many people are being forced to do what Chuck is doing though not in a cardboard box as camping tents are popular if one does not have the coin for a motel room which normally charges rooms by the hour. Times are tough and finding a good place is very difficult and most of these places require first and last month rent plus a month’s deposit which anyone living paycheck to paycheck simply does not have.

I feel sorry for Charlie Brown. He must be real lonely there too.

Aren’t comics supposed to be funny? This did not make me laugh.

Now he knows why Snoopy sleeps on top of the doghouse.

Things will get better Charlie Brown.

Thoreau would be proud, Charlie Brown.

This particular toon has got me to thinking about the needs of the homeless, especially the down-and-outers, the ones who insist on sleeping outside. Though, as a child, I did my share of running away. But, I never went farther than down the block. And I quickly realized that regardless of the problems I was leaving behind, I was also leaving behind a warm bed in my own room. Charlie has gone a lot farther than I ever did.

Now he knows how Snoopy feels, even in the snow.

Thinking of my upcoming flight out of DTW, I might be doing that myself in my car. I have an early flight out. 9am

Too bad there’s no rail lines near by. He could’ve hopped in a boxcar.

A cardboard box bed!

Charlie Brown… Homeless Person

You have an unusual definition of “comfortable”, CB!

Ruby’s a good egg. Anyway, your parents are failures, Charlie Brown.

The “joy” of being a fugitive on the run…

I often wonder what role parents played in Peanuts characters’ lives. Not much of one, I guess. The kids seemed to lead independent lives , with only occasional, casual references to parents.

If that’s comfortable, I’d hate see what uncomfortable looks like.

What about the possibility of rain, Charlie ???

For gosh sakes, Charlie! Go home!

Just remember CB what Dorothy said in the Wizard of Oz, “there’s no place like home!”

Well, he was telling the truth about a little place. Comfortable, maybe not so much.

Nowadays, this is called “affordable housing.”

Oh wait, the team just upgraded CB’s accommodations to an over-pass down the street. Sweeeet !

Round peg in a square hole.

Looks like a comfy place to me

Charles is heading to a hobo convention in Hoboken, NJ.

Unlike cats, Charlie Brown, you’d prefer a slightly bigger box. Or, maybe you’d like to go home and sleep in your own bed?

There can be the occasional problem in writing “around” adults, as was Schulz’s Law.

It’s ok when you’re young, but I couldn’t do it now

you’re supposed to snooze on the roof, Chuck.

At least Charlie has a roof over his head

Aww, Charlie Brown, you need to go home; the tree-biting is minor compared to this.

.uh yes… comfortable
