Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 23, 2023

mystery solved!

Linus said a mouthful.

So that means Linus isn’t going to give a little bit, huh?

“That worthless hound she married ran off”. That’s pretty dark stuff for a children’s comic, Mister Schulz.

Do I hear a Blues song in the making.

“That worthless hound"? You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog. Cryin’ all the time (The King)

Sell your mitt Charlie Brown you obviously don’t need it.

I didn’t know Snoopy had a sister. I just knew about his brother, Spike.

There should be some way to monetize a dog that can write letters on a typewriter and mail them home. But what address would you send money to? And can you send bones through the mail?

Michelle ma belle

Don’t like those fund-raising letters…

♪♪ Money don’t get everything, it’s true

What it don’t get, I can’t use

Now give me money, (That’s what I want)

That’s what I want

New car, caviar, four star, daydream

Think I’ll buy me a football team ♪♪

Ok, I definitely don’t remember that part of Belle’s backstory.

None of us do, Charlie Brown.

In today’s world, “Snoopy” would send Charlie a text message telling him that he needed money and to send gift cards.

I think this scam goes back about 150 years, ever since there was a telephone. "Hello, Watson? There’s been a misunderstanding, I’m in jail. Send bail money.

What do you mean, ‘Who is this?’"

What, Charlie didn’t get an allowance?! Even my mom with her meager teacher’s salary could afford to teach me about money by giving me at least $1 a week. I can well remember trying to make that buck stretch over the candy counter.

Roll credits.

Belle actually a guy who lives in Ghana with a high voice and decent English you met online who talks to you on the telephone saying he’s madly in love with you.

You know how to pick your dogs, CB.

The only way he can recognize her after all these dog years is to see that secret birthmark

Charles Schulz and his estate have plenty of money.

It’s not a good look to address a plea for money to “Dear Round Headed Kid”

Snoopy, knowingly you missed addressing him roundhead

Put up a sign at Royals Stadium. I bet George Brett or one of the other KC Royals know where to find Belle. Ask John Mayberry or Freddie “the Flea” Patek

Belle had a husband who ran out on her and their kid who knew?

A dog who is old enough to have a teenage son will be elderly indeed.

Maybe some of those rocks that Chuck keeps getting for Halloween are valuable? He needs to go to Pawn Stars!

“Don’t look at me Charlie Brown!’

good grief

Belle seems like the family’s hard luck case.

So… he’s supposed to be traveling to Wimbledon. He ends up at KC and rather than focusing on tennis he looks for his sister. Very surreal.
