Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 22, 2016

the boat has left the harbor

…we must meet again some sunny day….

Same thing happened between me and my Little Red-Haired Girl. Except I was the one who moved.

I know he’s shy, but this is just exaggerated. Not even a simple goodbye from a distance!

Your first sorrow of love Charlie? It’s ok but please, don’t look for a psychiatric help. Even for 5 cents.

You know, Linus has no right to put Charlie Brown on the spot like that. After all, if he was too uncomfortable to talk to her after all this time, doing it now would accomplish nothing but awkward for both involved and Linus’ pushing takes that worse.

Well that’s what you get for standing there like a blockhead.

Actually, he’ll see her next December

Good old wishy-washy Charlie Brown.

“It’s too late, she’s gone…it’s too late, my baby’s gone…wish I had told her, she’s my only one…but it’s too late, she’s gone.” —-Chuck Willis.

The line is, “I better learn how to face it”.

“He who hesitates is…Charlie Brown.”

It’s way easier to do nothing.

Totally me when I was younger and afraid of talking to the opposite sex

“She’s gone. She’s gone. Oh, I, I’d better learn how to face it. She’s gone—” Hall And Oates.

I’m rarely afraid to say anything…

My brother made it a habit to date redheaded girls to make sure he would fall in love with one which he did and married her. She was a sweet, thoughtful loving person who the whole family love and she in turn loved our family. She died at age 54 . We still miss her.

It’s hard to say goodbye when you’ve never said hello.

I still remember having empathy for Charlie’s anguish the first time this one ran in the papers, forty-something years ago.

Charlie Brown may have dodged a bullet there. What if they had both got together and she treated him like crap?

I’ve avoided relationships like the plague because I don’t want to risk my life being unhappy with some loser.

There is not somebody out there for everyone.
