Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 22, 1984
Transcript:
Lucy sits on a bean bag in front of the t.v. She turns head and says,"As long as you're not doing anything..." Linus, who is sitting in a chair reading, sighs.<BR><BR> He walks up behind her and she asks,"How about getting me a dish of ice cream?"<BR><BR> She looks back and shouts,"Mint! Make sure it's mint!!"<BR><BR> He returns with a dish of ice cream and she smiles and says,"Thank you"<BR><BR> She gags as she tastes the ice cream. She says,"This doesn't taste like mint..."<BR><BR> She frowns slightly as he walks up to her and replies,"All we had was vanilla..."<BR><BR> She sinks into the bean bag as he walks off concluding,"But you can do amazing things with a green felt tip pen"<BR><BR>
Lucy,in part 6:“Hey! This doesn’t take like mint!” Linus, in part 7:“Well, sorry, but all we have is vanilla,”then, in part 8, Linus:“But you CAN do amazing things, with a green felt-tipped pen, at least!” Yes, seems Lucy should have known, that vanilla was the only flavor they had, if she at least was in the mood for some ice cream. Linus certainly PULLED THE WOOL over her eyes, the way he led her to believe what he served her was mint, by slyly coloring the vanilla ice cream pale green, to make it look like mint(even if the TASTE was the dead giveaway, that it was not.)
