Linus is already the perfect gentleman as a little fella. Good strong roots and background always enhance adulthood. The tree is pliable when a young sapling and easily molded, and thus it is with us humans. C’est la vie!
It would be interesting to see who would become more of a hand-pecked husband as an adult: Chuck or Linus. My bet is Chuck and he’s probably be stuck with Lucy (Schroeder bolts town to play the dinner theater circuit for blue hairs) with his next door neighbors being P Patty and her partner Marcie!
I must have grown quickly. I wasn’t even old enough to remember the showdown with my bullying sister with a four year head start. Mom was chuckling when she told me about it.
I don’t see any ladies here. All I see in Lucy is a narcissistic little girl. Take the pounding, Linus. One day, you will be bigger and then you can put your bully of a sister in her place.

How about ham AND peanut butter! (Dang. My one chance to stay up late and make the first comment, and I blew it.)

she would offer to make him a knuckle sandwich!

How is it courteous to a lady when the lady is demanding?
GROG Premium Member over 2 years ago
She won’t be no lady by then.

I’ve said it before but it bears repeating…why Lucy never got her comeuppance for being a bossy bully is beyond me.

Lucy will never be a lady.

Linus could do what many waiters do to rude diners; spit in food.
su43dipta over 2 years ago
That means right now is your chance to do it!

Linus, just make her a ham and peanut butter sandwich with a spoon full of horseradish for a kicker. That should take care of her future demands.

No he was right the first time. He shouldn’t have to be your slave because you don’t know how to get up.

Better make it peanut butter, Linus, mom might have plans for the ham.

Make her an Ice-cream Sandwich. That way she’ll get both her ice-cream, (from yesterday), and her sandwich.

Linus .. start watching episodes of South Park, and learn from the expert, Eric Cartman how to handle your bossy sister.
Mediatech over 2 years ago
My older brother once “asked” me to make him a sandwich. I gave him peanut butter and cheese wiz. He never asked again.

Linus may be a gentleman, but Lucy is no lady.

I’ll take ham, cheese optional.

A gentleman? Not if he has to fight to survive being in that family!
JudithStocker Premium Member over 2 years ago
Never give in to her Linus!

I know I used this yesterday, but, Linus? Toilet water? Maybe bring Lucy a glass of it to go with her sandwich.

You can’t be bigger than Lucy, because she will always be the oldest. Plus, you two are the same height, anyways.

Of course, a “lady” would say “please” and “thank you.”

I bet Linus is wishing she was allergic to peanut butter right about now. That is, after all, the most common allergy.

When he finds a lady, he’ll make her a sandwich.

Be sure to top it with plenty of hot sauce.

That would be fine if she qualified as “a lady.”

The key word here is “lady”. Lucy is no lady, and she never will be. Feel free to pound her all you like.

you should never hit a lady – if she hits you first, she ain’t no lady. I think something similar applies here.

Define “Lady”.Peppermint Patty is more of a lady than Lucy.

The little talk between the siblings is kinda cute. Love Linus unswerving concern for Lucy.

Wow! Talk about coincidence. I just had a reply on this exact strip from the first time it ran. Should have noted the date.
pchemcat over 2 years ago
Sorry Lucy, but sisters are not included in the “lady” category, you are just a sister. Just be glad you don’t have older brothers!
Natarose over 2 years ago
Where is there a lady?! You? No real lady would treat her brother like that.

Yes, courteous to ladies. You’re no lady, Lucy. Do it yourself.
