Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 05, 2023

Was hoping she realize I didn’t know the answers and start calling on someone else.

Truer today than ever.

Good ol’ Charlie Brown.

Getting the right answer isn’t as important as understanding how you got it.

Sincerity doesn.t count in school Charlie Brown!

I think the current punchline is “I thought it didnt think being right mattered as long as I was loud”!

Maybe Math class wasn’t the best place to try that out…

And as we’ve all heard, if you can fake sincerity, you’ve got it made.

And so another Republican is born.

Was he hoping for The Great Pumpkin to appear?

This strip is from August 14. Why are the kids in school? In those days, school didn’t start until the day after Labor Day.

There was another strip with this line, but Linus said it. I had this in my room as a kid – https://www.pinterest.com/pin/523613894154324354/ – it may have also been a title of one of the compilation books, IIRC. I don’t think many people would agree with this today

I think it was Spurgeon who said, “You can sincerely drink poison and still be wrong”

Regrettably, I’ve been sincerely wrong on a number of occasions. I’ve also been sincerely correct a few times.

I thought Linus had cornered the market on sincerity.

Charlie Brown and the birth of MAGA thinking.

And he doesn’t need you criticizing him, I’m sure the teacher did a thorough job.

Charlie Brown, You had all the right answers but to the wrong questions!

Careful, Charlie…remember where sincerity got Linus!

He was in a brown study that day…

Alternative facts. Who knew Charlie Brown was a Republican?

Charlie was so “woke” for his time. Sadly.

This strip was ahead of its time. This is how Common Core works.
