Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for October 25, 2016

Sadly, that’s probably how I’d have replied to the same compliment at that age. If I could’ve unjammed my tongue from the back of my throat, anyway.

Please don’t give him a hand mirror. I’m suddenly picturing a human Vanity Smurf looking exactly like Charlie Brown in today’s strip.

Don’t blame Charlie Brown for being this annoying. He gets compliments like this on so many rare occasions that he’s awestruck every time he actually gets one. Let him enjoy the moment while it lasts, cause he certainly won’t have many of them in the future.

I seem to remember an earlier strip in which Violet was just about that annoying about something with CB. Maybe this is just payback.

Good grief.

In Panel 2 and 3, CB sounds like Bugs Bunny at his annoying best in the original WB cartoons, often when hasslilng Porky…maybe it’s an homage?

Snoopy doesn’t care for the PLP in panel one.

Ran into an old shipmate who noted I was twice the man I used to be, but said I “carried it well.” My wife didn’t appreciated that— “No you don’t. Keep dieting.”

Looks like Snoopy does not prefer panel one’s arrangement

Remember that when the little Red-Headed Girl moves into the neighborhood…

When I was in 10th grade, Andrea told me I had really nice, blue eyes. I believe I responded with, “uhhh. hamon. dooss. foofy.”

No

Leave it to Chuck to blow one of the few compliments that will ever get tossed his way

That would have been me for a long time, I’m afraid.

Interesting that Charlie Brown appears to be wearing a polka-dot shirt under his jacket, rather than his usual zig zag striped shirt.

He just had to spoil it.

Quit while your ahead Charlie Brown!
