Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 13, 2011

Who Would want to Kiss and Hug someone as crabby as that?

Good grief, Lucy … Stop harassing poor Charlie Brown! I’ll bet if Shroeder were the one offering to rub your arm, you would have the complete opposite reaction!

I bet Lucy wouldn’t be so crabby if Schroeder were to treat her sore arm!

I hate to think what kind of an adult she is going to be. Stay as far away from her as possible. She is toxic. And yes, I know people very much like her.

Dream on, Lucy.

Now we have proof positive as to the origin of the spinster and old maids. Nobody is gonna want to… Wait, she is one of Gods children and… No! Not with Lucy van Pelt.

I think Charlie has better taste in girls, Lucy.

Hug? Kiss? YOU? HA!

If the strip were done today, she’d probably be slapping him with a harassment suit. Anyone else remember a much later story arc in Peanuts where Rerun was charged with harassment after he jokingly asked a female classmate to go to Paris with him? I think it was featured in one of the Peanuts television specials.

Charlie Brown, I second that remark: “oh, good grief!!!”

No need for first aid?

Didn’t Charles Schulz model Lucy after his wife? seems to me I read that somewhere. I shudder to think.

Funny how she yells at Charlie Brown after she had told Schroeder point-blank that arms were made for hugging. Hypocritical much, Lucy?

a good deed never goes unpunished…..lol

Could Lucy van Pelt changed her name to Lyndsy Lohan. All would make sense then!

I’ve been touched by a boy! Boy Germs!

@gmartin Remember, Charles Schulz divorced his first wife in 1972. The claim that Lucy was based on his first wife is probably untrue, but still….

Quit flattering yourself Lucy, only people that like girls moody and b*****y would want to hug and kiss you.

Chuck, don’t touch her. She will give you the crabs.

Oy!

Charlie Brown a seducer?!?!

JAAJAJAJJAJAA OMG! Lucy’s gonna kill me

That IS being hypocritical, though. She’d jump at any excuse to touch Schroeder (even though he’s made it plain that he can’t stand her), and that’s OK, but any boy who offers to massage her arm for therapy is just a lecherous pervert who’s only looking for an excuse to touch her inappropriately? That’s not only hypocritcal, it’s sexist AND a double standard. Buy a clue, Lucy — that’s NOT what feminism is supposed to stand for!

Lucy is the drama girl.

Nah, Lucy. Chuck only digs redheads!

Lucy might have grown up to be Gladys Ormphby on “Laugh-In”.

Yet, all Lucy thinks about is holding hands and kissing and hugging Schroeder.Lucy must be traded, Charlie Brown.
