Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for March 22, 2016

Awfully early for Christmas, isn’t it? (Yeah, I see the actually date in the final panel.)

Deal

They all want more than most men can afford to give.

Violet, it’s 1950-something. Just how much of an allowance do you think he gets?

Let’s see. Seven days till Christmas, though there were no Sunday strips in ‘51 for Peanuts Today’s strip is December 18th. So Christmas will be March 30th. Believe I predicted that last week too.

Close enough…

If you’ve read some of the recent Shakespearean scholarship about “Much Ado About Nothing” you’d really get an inappropriate laugh about this exchange. "In Shakespeare’s time, “thing” and “nothing” (“nothing”) were slang words for referring to a sexual organ; thus phrases with the word “nothing” sometimes had sexual or erotic connotations."

Violet, a young golddigger

I notice that Charlie Brown is in most of the strips now. Earlier he was just part of the cast of characters.

This is way out of sync with the time of year, which it seems would be easy enough to fix. Also, a suggestion: label the strips with the YEAR. It would be very interesting to know what year these come from.
