Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 04, 2024

Could bring a new meaning about where her father goes when he’s out of town?

Nothing wrong with living in an apartment over a store. Lots of folks end up doing that after retirement if they don’t need or can’t afford a house and don’t have the income for a ‘luxury’ apartment…

“Actually, it’s a cardboard box in the back of an Italian restaurant.”

The drug store, how convenient.

Ah yes the drugstore, I bet gramps still remembers back when they sold cocaine chewing gum, yup, those were the good ol’ days.

So, no horses?

I was wondering what all the mooing and clucking was when I went to get aspirin.

On panel two PP sounds like Hank Kimball on Green Acres.

So not a ranch? Strange way to start a story.

Where does he keep his cattle? Oh, right, under the bed.

So, why’d you say it was a ranch?

Patty likes to ad lib ;+)

Drugstore Cowboy?

Hoo-boy… First D-minus of the year!

Just following the “Woven” trend.

I would like to live in an apartment over a drugstore or a small general type store.

Perhaps he used to live on a ranch.

This is the funniest joke punchline I have read all day. How the country ranch changes into an apartment over the drug store in the town! I’m rolling on the floor laughing right now, he haw!

Didn’t H.H. Holmes have an apartment over a drug store?

At one time it was a ranch. Her story should, maybe, be about urban sprawl.

That sounds like a unique and interesting place to spend the summer! Living above a drug store must have its own charm and convenience. You probably have easy access to anything you needed and a great view of the town.

Believe it or not, I’ve heard reports that were worse than that.

Well that ranch sure got whittled down quickly.

You know I like Patty, Im not sure that Sparky did though………

The edge of town, where at night it’s light one way and dark the other way

In those days drugstores had comic book racks and soda fountains

won’t the drug store get crushed?

Her father likes to keep up appearances. (In another strip, he sends Patty to private school.)
