Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 20, 2022

Who has a yard full of leaves in September?

Hey, it’s Violet again! She obviously still lives in Charlie Brown’s neighborhood, though she is no longer shown hanging out with him. Later in the decade, she will be introduced to Spike and make a prominent appearance with Patty and Pig-Pen in a Sunday strip. Schulz used her fairly regularly in cameo appearances in the late 80s to mid 90s, too.

anything for an early-autumn paying job, huh, Charlie Brown?

Leave the leaves. https://www.nwf.org/Magazines/National-Wildlife/2015/OctNov/Gardening/Leave-the-Leaves

It’s the installment plan. Get your leaves cleaned in 1000 easy payments.

suddenly the house has wooden siding again, or he at the VannPelt summer place!?! just asking…

Ok, as long as one thing leads to another.

Geez. How’s he gonna screw this up?

What is he charging for each leaf, if he raking them up ‘one’ leaf at a time?

Does anyone have a yard full of leaves to rake, just now? My pecans are still green and beginning to fruit. Of course, this is in the south. No doubt Peanuts world is a bit further up north.

You gotta start somewhere, Charlie Brown.

You don’t get too many repeat gigs, do ya, Chuck?

The first one is free. Early ‘Freemium’ trial.

Now there is a boy that knows his limitations. Well played Charlie Brown, well played.

Beware, CB, Linus has a two-for-one deal out and Franklin is quoting by the acre. Watch out for Pig Pen, though. He’s jumping in everyone’s leaves.

Linus has a wet sucker

With a rake of that size you’ll probably have to move quite a few leaves out of the way just to be able to rake one.

snoopy is a good dog

Entrepreneurism at work!

At least you got some interest this time, Charlie

The part time jobs done by the children in the western world are looked down upon here in india. I think it builds character.

Just rake a pile, Charlie Brown.

This rerun reminds me of a man’s account of visiting a restaurant to have breakfast. He wasn’t familiar with Southern cooking, and the waitress asked him if he would like to have grits. To which he replied, “I’ll have one.”

Reminds me of the Southerner who asked the Yankee if he wanted to taste some grits. The Yankee replied, “Yes, I’ll try one.”
