Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 06, 2023

Liberace starter kit

Lucy’s best idea, then.

I’m surprised he isn’t complaining about wax dripping on his piano.

Play “Candle In The Wind” Schroeder.

Or play Burn Baby Burn

“I looked around, a lousy candle’s all I found….”

Schroeder’s hair is dangerously close to the candle!

Bring some more, Lucy, so we cant hear you :)

“I wish my brother George was here…” — Bugs Bunny pretending to be Liberace… ;)

After all, Schroeder is a Beethoven fan.

What does Liberace say about the candle?

Schroeder should watch what he says. Considering Lucy tossed his piano into the kite-eating tree, she’d have even more fun with a lit candle.

“Seems to me you live your light like a candle in the wind…”

“I’ll be your candle on the water…”

Since Schroder appears in today’s “Peanuts”, don’t forget that it’s 10 days until the anniversary of the birth of his favorite composer!

One thing that contributes to Peanuts’ staying power is how everyone is in love with each other. There’s no official or implied couple, no relationship arcs, no will-they-won’t-they, no love triangles, nothing. The characters can date whoever they want and since the series is very episodic and self contained, the relationship doesn’t have to stick around. We need more shows like that.

I’ve seen this in Peanuts strips before. A character will just repeat the same thing over and over; in this case, the “touch of romance” line. I never understood why, even when I was a kid.

Give it up, Lucy. Seriously. Schroder is one of The Boys in the Band. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

good one !

If a candle is burning in a forest….

If Schroder’s not more careful, his hair is going to be lit up, too. Then the candle won’t be symbolic of romance, but a very real danger in the room.

Didn’t know wood-Wick candles came in taper style…

Only 10 Shopping Days to Beethoven’s Birthday

Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!

Give it up, Lucy. Schroeder’s into classical music. He’ll never earn a decent, much less extravagant living playing the classics! You need to find a rock star to satisfy your ego.

Beethoven couldn’t hear Lucy with or without the candle

Do you know what is better than roses on your piano? ………………………….Tulips on your organ.

Fire hazard!

If that candle is too loud, better turn it down. You don’t want to wind up like Beethoven.

Has very sensative hearing it seems…..

LOL! :)

You mean the candle that just burned out?
