Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 30, 2024

…your ideas intrigue me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Poor Charlie Brown. Between a weird dog and ditzy sister, he can’t win.

Nice eye roll, Chuck

I think his head already is spinning.

If you turn 5 upside down you have 2. Sort of. But I’m sure Sally would see it that way.

She’s almost as smart as patty.

Is that the new math the kids are talking about?

I now have a headache after reading that.

One wonders where Cathy got her thoughts about numbers.

This new math stuff is really confusing!

She may be on to something. If one’s didn’t get so mad, they wouldn’t be the loneliest number.

My head is already spinning. And I thought 7 times 13 is 21 was complicated.

♫♪

Ones are the loneliest numbers that you’ll ever do

Twos can be as bad as ones

They’re the loneliest number since the number one

♪♫

What’s the difference?

Art Linkletter once had a show that featured kids who said the darn est things. Cute show.

Sally reminds me when I was learning letters and numbers. I gave each one a personality, and I still think of them as such.

Talk about timing.

In just 5 days it is going to be the 7th month and 4th day of the year!

If you actually add up the numbers 7 plus 4, you get 11.

Which despite what C.B. says, 11 are actually two ones like Sally says.

The magic of numbers! I wish everyday could be like the 7/4.

(Or as they say in Europe, the 4th of 7.)

What about 1001001?

What do you think the thing about 5’s might have been like?

Too late…

Sally has a future as a pollster spinning numbers.

Sally’s teacher is going to need a long vacation.

2s are never dishonest, that’s why they don’t run for office

After visiting a friend in a near suburb, riding the one-eleven bus back home was always an adventure.

A jam packed One bus to Nubian is no picnic either.

Sally has a future in writing click-bait.“Things about 5s that will make your head spin!”

Was Schulz’s grammar wrong with the apostrophes by the number words, or did some clueless person insert them for this new publication?

She’s got a lot to learn about numerical analysis.

Count me out.

Sounds like last Thursday night on CNN

Reminds me of learning Cribbage…

What about eleventy-four and overly-two?

Charley Brown is such a dunce. Clearly she was working on her eleven billion, one hundred and eleven million, one hundred and eleven thousand, and one hundred and elevens.

She sounds like a politician explaining their version of economics.

I already hated math; now I hate numbers in general.

1729. ….

I’m way ahead of him.

I didn’t know Sally was a numerologist! I always thought she was a Methodist!

Because it’s new math, new-hoo-hoo math, It won’t do you a bit of good to review math, It’s so simple, So very simple, That only a child can do it! youtube . com / watch?v=UIKGV2cTgqA&t=136s

Like confusing sixes with nines.

I think Sally has Ordinal Linguistic Personification Synesthesia. (Google is your friend, kids. It’s a fun rabbit hole.)

Math aside, surprisingly incorrect usage of the possessive apostrophes for the plural numbers.

Number 9…. Number 9…. Number 9….

6969696969 … upside down that’s … 6969696969

Now that Sally has explained Numbers, can she explain Deuteronomy next? (If not, maybe Linus can.)

Reminds me of the Abbott and Costello bit where they added up a column of numbers …

Between today’s Calvin and Sally’s reasoning, my brain is full.

And t he left fielder’s name? WHY!! Because!! Oh,he’s center field.

Great absurdity!!
