Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for September 07, 2022

Charlie Brown didn’t want to feel left out

Why can’t the kids have fun

who’s next? Violet? oh, right… she technically already dirties herself when making mud pies

Patty has dirt on everyone.

In later years, Patty will preface these calls with, “Now, I’m only telling you this so you can pray about it, but…”

Look out there’s one right there

It freaks me out, it’s covered in crud

All of our values have been challenged

By the monsters of mud

Here they slime

There they slouch

On the carpet

On my couch

Mud monsters everywhere

You can’t escape the slobbering flood

We couldn’t stop them so we all became

The monsters of mud

Cue a classic Foreigner song.

It’s contagious. Don’t knock it till you tried it.

Cue Johnny Cash “The mud and the blood and the beer” in later years!

Invasion of the Body Soilers…

As a kid we had a large parachute tent in the side yard. SW Idaho summers get pretty warm. Inside the tent the dirt would get dry and soft. When it would get to powder consistency we would then go inside for the explicit task of seeing just how dirty we could get. Mom would make us wash of with the garden hose before we came inside.Pig Pen, I understand.

OH NO A PANDEMIC!!!!! WHERE’S FAUCI? WHO CAN WE BLAME? WHY ISN’T THE MEDIA KEEPING US IN LINE??? PLEASE, GOD, DON’T LET THEM……………. too late…….. even Charlie Brown has been infected. (what? too early? Paxlovid rebound?)

Why complain to Charlie Brown about it?

Not much he can do…!

Pigpen is an influencer?

Shows their LIVING, Patty. Try it.

Those, were the days… being able to play outside, getting dirty, one end, to the other, and not having someone hovering, having a meltdown, when we did get dirt-covered. It’s dirt… it comes off. We were kids, and we took full advantage of it.

They all look like me when I was a kid!

I can’t wait to see Linus!

Petty Patty pity party?
