Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for July 05, 2021

Right, Charlie Brown. EVERYTHING is always about you. The entire UNIVERSE revolves around YOU. Good grief!

C.B. Why don’t you just go and ask them?

“They were laughing at me.”

“How do you know? You couldn’t hear what they were saying.”

“There wasn’t anything else to laugh at.”

(Extract from a real conversation)

When I was twenty, I cared what people thought about me.

When I was forty, I no longer cared what people thought about me.

Now I’m sixty, and I realize that nobody had been thinking about me in the first place.

(That’s a quote, but I’ve never seen it attributed with certainty to a particular person.)

“Paranoia may destroy ya” Charlie Brown!

I stayed to see The Three Musketeers three times with a friend of mine back in the 70s, when I was living in Oklahoma. I couldn’t do that here in Iceland, because the entrances and exits to the theater are separate, and you can’t get back without paying for another ticket.

Sounds like a good western. Was John Wayne in it?

At least they’re smiling when they talk about you Chuck. And it doesn’t look like a mean smile.

And THEN you start hearing the voices when there’s nobody there…

Well, does this pass the Bechdel test or are they too young?

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they really aren’t out to get you.

As an Indian, I resemble that remark!

With her hands that far apart, I wouldn’t think so Charlie.
