Okay, I know Schulz chose not show adults in his comics, but some of this stuff makes it seem like these kids have no parents. Patty’s Dad ought to have taken care of this, just as Charlie Brown should not have to schedule his own doctor’s appointments. suspension of disbelief is getting a little difficult.
