Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for May 11, 2023

Beethoven fights bears: Symphony No. 9 in D minor plays in the background.

Schroeder is correct. I didn’t know it.

I thought Davy Crockett killed himself a B’ar when he was three.

I don’t suppose it would do any good to explain that Beethoven isn’t part of “American” history in the first place, would it?

I must not have been in school the day of that particular history lesson.

The song says Davey Crockett was raised in the woods and knew every tree, sounds a bit like my dog!

I still say it’s a big load of Crockett, and CB needs to call out Schroeder on it.

We have only Davy Crockett’s word for the bear. And you know what hunters and fishermen’s stories are like.

Maybe Schroeder. But Beethoven never patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell.

Revisionist history. Schroeder promises to be a good little progressive.

Except Bethoven never placed a foot in America.

Big deal, he killed a baby bear.

I like how Schroeder says it’s a little known fact of AMERICAN history.

the precious world of children and their facts. and then as we grow older they straighten us out with the……….. oh, no, they don’t. do they?

Didn’t realize Beethoven was part of American history.

Beethoven in American history?

Natty Bumppo was still better.

One thing Chuck… Beethoven didn’t have its own TV show… no wait, he had one in the 1990s after that movie.

now begs the question: how musically talented was Crockett compared to Beethoven?

That gun gets longer in every strip.
