Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 30, 2024

Sadly, today there are far too many people who cannot read the last panel and thus do not get the joke.

What’s wrong with the first Z? It looked perfect.

Well played ,very well played.

Cursive! Foiled again.

I once said that I wish my handwriting was as beautiful as my sister’s. She answered “My handwriting may be beautiful, but nobody can read it; yours is ugly, but easily readable.”

My Dad had the most beautiful cursive handwriting. Even as an 88 year old. so artistic. Me, 30 years younger…the arthritis in my hands makes my penmanship unreadable.

This strip taught me how to write cursive z’s. My teacher didn’t know how, so she just told us to write regular Z’s.

The curse of cursive!

Z’s in cursive.

Point proven. (-_-)zzZZzz

Well, here’s a letter you can practice your cursive with… “D”! How do you do a minus sign in cursive?

I think that was a major fourth wall break.

She’s visualizing writing in cursive.

The forgotten art of penmanship.

My “handwriting” has become a mix of printing and cursive. I’m in my 60’s. I was looking at my elementary school report cards on day in my twenties. The teacher commented that my handwriting would better if I didn’t try to be an individualist and give odd shapes to the letters. LOL! Even at that young age I just had to unique.

Cursive Zs have always looked odd to me. Especially capital Zs, which look like 2s.

this was pretty funny and sad.

Cursive rules! But I have to practice a bit to make it readable, even to me.

Maybe she’d be able to stay awake if it weren’t for all those late night baseball games she plays.

Only ‘Peppermint’ Patty would ‘dream about cursively writing ’z’ s ! ! ! !

Is this taking place in a classroom or a court room?

It’s improved.

I never did understand why cursive Zs looked like that. It was one of the first letters I went back to printing.

It is sad a lot of people can’t read today the last panel is a z like the first

Z,z (zeta)
