Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for June 03, 2022

good grief, what a tangled-up mess they got themselves into

Charlie Brown’s first kite incident. And so it begins.

I’ve got the world on a string. . .Life is a beautiful thing

CB is actually flying a kite!

An idyllic Summer’s day until the last panel!

I wonder when Shultz started the whole “everyone blame Charlie Brown” thing. Feels like this is missing a final panel where everyone calls him a blockhead. But, this is better as is.

Practical applications of string theory.

Oh, what a wangled web we weave when first we practice to fly kites.

so he can fly a kite

Who’s that kid with Snoopy?

And THIS, children, is how you cover up that sudden case of hiccups when you were inking a panel. (Which actually happened to me once before I shifted to scripting. Took a fair amount of white out to cover the depredations of the runaway pen).

That last panel has to be a record for the most exposed tongues.

hey! C.B. got a kite flying…

They all got roped into the same scene.

Charlie Brown got a kite in the air? Impressive. Once he was doing well until the kite exploded.

Follow the string to the exit at the bottom.

In the early strips, Snoopy seems not to be Charlie Brown’s dog…

Good to see all of you together!! Not as together as you could well have been. (cue: string team) bring ‘em tighter, boys!!)

Saw that coming!

Odd that in the second cel the girls appear to be in a sand trap and in the next to last on something that looks like astroturf.

I feel sorry for Patty, Violet, and Lucy. They were minding their own buisness, not mvoing from that spot (that doesn’t mean they weren’t moving, just that they were confining their movement to one spot) when they got sideswipped by Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Shermy, and Schroeder

So, it’s Sunday. 6 June 1954 — Is Ike at Normandy for the tenth anniversary of D-Day?

An object lesson in “Harmonic convergence.”
