Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for May 17, 2023

From that day forward, one tree saw this and swore revenge to take down Charlie Brown’s kites.

Killing that tree bodes ill dor you, Charlie Brown.

She said a tree, not a sapling.

In early days, I think Violet was the official Pretty One. Eventually she blended into the gang, usually as one of the baseball team or chatting with the other girls.

Excellent job. Take a bough, Charlie Brown.

Think you need a bigger tree, Charlie Brown!

Who carries a knife on a date?

You’re better without her, or anyother girl in your neighborhood

weep over what they did to the tree. :}

Fun fact: That tree was the Kite eating trees older brother…

Inspiration for a scene from “The Money Pit” years later.

I carry my Girl Scout knife.

Charlie Brown got a date?!

AAAUUUGGGHHHHHHH!

Really, Vi? In a couple years, you will make Chuck’s life a living hell.

They’re gonna need a bigger tree.

Climb the water tower & paint a ten-foot heart!

In John Deere green!

He’s gonna need a bigger tree…

Thus was Charlie’s failure in persuing the career of arborist.

LOL :)

We are not amused. No comment.

whoops

This seems to be a throwback to the early Violet who was alternately smitten with and furious at Charlie Brown.

Is she cheating on Shermy?
