Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 15, 2024

Sally’s a bit off.

One of Sparky’s best wild cards ;o)

A bad bracket crime is bracketeering .

What other special characters are used in fruit?

“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”

“And don’t get me STARTED on parentheses and quotation marks!”

Just wait until she learns about emojis :)

Today’s strip reminds me of a drag double act called Hinge and Brackett which appeared on TV here in the UK in the 1970s and ’80s. The characters full names were Dame Evadne Hinge and Dame Hilda Brackett.

I’ve only ever been in one tax bracket at a time.

A right bracket by itself may be an Apple II command prompt.

Today’s quiz – What are the curved brackets called?

A mismatched bracket (or parentheses) can bring a program interpreter or compiler stopping in its tracks. At least, that’s what will happen with the programming languages PHP and Lisp.

Just ask a programmer…

Of course brackets are plural.

If you are in a single bracket, most people wish that they are in a “high income” bracket.

[……………………………I think I’m forgetting something……………Oh yeah!….]

That’s a harmful stereotype, Sally.

It has nothing to do with sport brackets.

We call them Empty Arrays!!

[ <—- Beware. You’ve been warned.

Sally’s mind works in very unique ways.

Always reading the strips and hearing the voices like they are on the tv specials :) <3

I see two pairs of brackets followed by a single bracket.

Reminds me of what Pablo Picasso said: “Art is a lie that helps us see the truth.” Sally is not nearly as illogical as any number of talking heads we see on local and network news.

She’s my favorite.

McCluskey got mixed up in the brackets, and got what was coming to him

Up to no good, huh?

:-]

Unless those brackets are for March Madness for NCAA basketball…then there are several brackets ganging up on you!

It’ll certainly mess with many a computer code.

An open ended question to be sure ! ;-)

I prefer using the brackets over parentheses because then the shift key is not needed and I may continue typing [hunt & peck] with my single hand.

Deal with it!

Sally would make a good python programmer

Did Sally get hit on the head by the football

Hm, reminds me of xkcd 859 (sorry, no URLs allowed)
