Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 24, 1972
Transcript:
Lucy hangs up the phone and says, "A new baby brother! I can't believe it!"<BR><BR> Linus sits on the front steps. Lucy opens the door and says, "You might as well come back in . . I can't fight the whole world."<BR><BR> Linus and Lucy walk in the house. Linus asks, "What do you mean by that?" Lucy replies, "Dad just called from the hospital . . We have a new baby brother!"<BR><BR> Linus' hair stands up. He shouts, "A new baby brother!?" Lucy sits in a chair and frowns. She says, "I throw one out, and another comes in! You can't shovel water with a pitch fork."<BR><BR>
Lucy could have used this new development to her advantage by telling Linus that the baby was his replacement.
