It wasn’t swimming lessons at the Y, was it?_______________________________
No. There were usually family friends who would pitch in and one summer our city had a short program that she signed me up for. What’s funny is that my girls picked up swimming easily during their old summer day camp. I neglected to tell my mother about that. One time, a few years ago, my parents took the girls to the beach. The girls made a bee-line to the water & my mother just about had a heart attack! She thought she’d have to wade them in!
As a boy growing up in the city of New York in the 50s, I had several Peanuts collections available to me, and used them to learn to read. Even at that tender age I appreciated the irony; to me, suburbs like that _were _ the country.
PLEASE skip ahead to the fall — it’s okay if we miss a few from 1952 — so we can read about Christmas in December instead of next April! C’mon — there is no good reason to read these old strips during the wrong seasons! SIGH!

Still loving the art in this era. The backgrounds are just classic suburbia.

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

That’s one whopping big slice of watermelon!
