Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 12, 2023

Patty is qualified to write a political blog with that grasp of facts!

Her next report will be on Moses building and ark dancing naked around it.

During the so-called Battle of Bunker Hill, Israel Putnam (some say William Prescott) issued a command: “Do not fire till you see the whites of their eyes!” (WWW so it must be true).

Well, she certainly has a fresh take on history—totally off base but fresh

A+ for being an interesting story.

Reminds me of Calvin’s report on bats.

Teacher give her an E for effort.

Wow. I lived across the river from Washington for and never knew he was a doctor!

Did she use the wrong AI program to write that report?

That was even more ridiculous than an old Bugs Bunny cartoon about American History. Still, even today I’m ROTFL about the tea tacks.

She’s an expert at alternate history.

Archie Bunker knew Dr. Washington ? They grew up in different cities ! Wonder if Edith knew him, too.

That was almost as good as DJT’s version of American history where he claimed our Colonial army seized the airports from the British right after they finished ramming the ramparts.

Doctor C. Washington.

I’m giggling! Schulz was a genius!

Just seeing that look of confidence on PP’s face…just before her teacher deflates it!

Two words; D Minus!

The battle of Bunker Hill was actually fought on Breed’s Hill.

And here I thought he was just slave-owning trash.

Patty would grow up to represent the 14th district of Georgia in the House of Representatives.

Sorry about the politics. I couldn’t resist.

And further on in her Washington D.C. history report, ‘during the war of 1812 when the Canadians stormed the capital, you heard them say, "Don’t FIRE, until you can set fire to their White House."

Peppermint Patty Psaki got an A for her re-vison-ist history.

I always thought that “D.C.” stood for “da capital”. As in, “Washington, da capital”.

Oy vey, that is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard, even coming from Peppermint Patty.

this bares so little connection to any facts you wonder if patty wrote it after finding her dad’s stash

Didn’t we recently have a president who remembered history this way? And then the Patriots stormed the airports…

Florida has already inserted this version into their U.S. history classes.

Yeah , that’s what I heard too .

This really does sound like Bard on a bad day.

Trump blamed it on the teleprompter. Which means of course, that he admitted he was a President of the United States who was perfectly willing to recite, mindlessly and mechanically, anything that showed up on the teleprompter.

Someone has their History Channel messed up with their ESPN. Yes, I know cable and those channels were nonexistent in those days.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they actually taught this in DC

Peppermint Patty, Revisionist Historian.

Teacher: “D” in History, but an “A” in Creative Writing.

Sounds right to me.

Obviously she is a fan of the vintage cartoon Fractured Fairy-tales

Peppermint likely attends public school in our city?

Patty is only repeating today’s version of American History in Government schools

This reminded me of a Richard Lederer piece in which he compiled a series of student bloopers from teachers across the U.S. into a history of the world (you can Google it). It begins:

“The inhabitants of ancient Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cultivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pyramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain.”

P Patty has been known to have been given the grade of “Z” before, this might be a repeat performance.

I like Patty’s story of Doctor Washington better than the other story of Gen.Washington. Though I doubt her grade will reflect her level of imagination.

But, when we were younger, we did come up with some pretty outlandish stories to explain what we saw and heard. I can remember hypothesizing that the men who died on all those westerns we watched were really death row inmates. They were given the chance at freedom. If they survived the gunshot, they might get their freedom or at least had their sentence reduced. That story made perfect sense to me.

and the rest as they say “is history”

Since my state is re-writing history I imagine this will be thrown in as well…

It’s all a pretty amusing remix till she says he became their coach. That seems like a non sequitir.

Better revision of history than the Russians can do…

Can’t wait to hear her Liberty Bell story and Dr. J.

Um, Patty, did you look this up somewhere?

All right, who put her up for this?

A.I. ?

More accurate than the history they actually teach in schools.

I like her version better.

And this isn’t even ‘drunk history’.
