Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 11, 2022

Maybe you can get Woodstock to act as a messenger pigeon? Just don’t let Snoopy find out.

Stalk them online until they like you – oh wait you are about 18 years too early for commercially available internet.

Take a hint.

Dial louder? A typical big sister reply.

The plot holes in this story arc are ridiculous, even for a comic strip. So, Linus has Truffles’ address AND her telephone number, and he still isn’t able to make his way to her house? Really? He’s supposed to be the sharpest-minded kid in the strip, but, notwithstanding that, wouldn’t any grown-up have solved his “problem” in two seconds if he had asked for some help? The only excuse Linus has of not getting to Truffle’s house is that he DOESN’T WANT to get to her house.

“I just called to say I love you” (Stevie Wonder)

Linus Gets Ghosted.

You’re asking for advice from Lucy?

Or keep sending messages until they finally answer.

“Hello. How are you? Have you been all right, through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights? That’s what I’d say. I’d tell you everything, if you’d pick up that telephone.”

Well you can always tex— I mean, emai— I mean, post on their social med— I mean, leave a voicema— maybe just write a letter after all.

That’s how her psychiatric help got its start.

Lucy’s comment ‘rings a bell’ and maybe we all can take that advice to just make calls that ring louder which are important to us.

Lucy has to get her 5 cents in there, always.

Actually calling a person is the last resort for me. I only use it when all the other methods to reach out have failed. If they don’t answer the phone, then I know they don’t want to hear from me, so I cry.

Move on Linus, there are plenty of other mushrooms in the ground

Fbook messenger?

Hellllooooooo Bayyyyyy-Beeeee!

He has her phone number, but not her address?

Truffle is ghosting Linus?!? …and btw, for some reason I don’t recall this story line at all.

Are you lonesome tonight….do you miss me tonight?….Are you sorry we drifted apart?….

Does your memory stray….to a bright summer day…when I kissed you and called you sweetheart?…..

She doesn’t answer because she’s on a “date” with Snoopy!

I (maybe the only one) liked Lucy’s suggestion.

Dial louder? I never thought of that! :-)

One more time: WHO! IS! TRUFFLES?

My phone doesn’t have a dial just push buttons Now what?

This is so sad

Well I guess I’ll post MY favorite “telephone song”:

Go to someone other than Lucy for advice. Her bad advice will have you down in the dumps.

“I called you on the phone, they said you were not home. That’s a lie”

What’s refreshing here is that Linus is using a house phone … not a cell, not a smart, but a regular old phone … I wonder if it’s rotary? … ;)
