I had a friend who often tried to say two or three things at the same time out of impatience to get them out. Sometimes she’d mash them together into a word salad, sometimes she’d make sputtering noises, and sometimes she’d act EXACTLY like Violet!
This seems to be a common set up in these early Peanuts strips – makes me wonder what dark, sinister things the old Charlie Brown was up to? It WAS the 50s after all, and attitudes were different back then.
Ollie: To think you would bite the hand that was feeding you. You snake in the grass. You traitor! You sheep in wool clothing. You double-crosser. You Judas! You… You…!

It could have been worse. She could have said something unprintable. Remember, in comic strips symbols were used to indicate cussing.
