TWO-FACED Lucy, for you—here she is, giving Charlie Brown advice as to how to deal with people who are nothing but BIG MOTORMOUTHS, and yet she goes on being a motormouth, herself. And yes, that’s also Charlie Brown being Charlie Brown—wishy-washy—just sits there and lets Lucy “ruin his valuable time,” instead of getting up and leaving, and thus, they both get covered in snow. Too bad CB didn’t have a radio, then he could have done to Lucy, what Ernie would do to Bert, on Sesame Street, some time later—remove the volume knob from the radio, put it on Lucy’s chest, and switched it to OFF.
