Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 16, 1979
Transcript:
Marcie sits at her desk in school and says, "The principal told the teacher she might consider moving you to another desk, sir."<BR><BR> Marcie continues, "But she said she can't do that."<BR><BR> Peppermint Patty sits at her desk with a pan on her head to catch leaking water. She asks, "Why not?"<BR><BR> Marcie says, "She said it would destroy her alphabetical seating arrangement."<BR><BR>
I think they could have made an exception(with the alphabetical seating arrangement)in this case—I mean, the way to look at it, WAS like it was an emergency—Peppermint Patty did not have to put up with rainwater coming down on her.
