Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for February 09, 2020

Don’t argue or you’ll be out forever

I love how Charlie Brown mangles the lyrics of those old songs!

who still plays cowboys/Indians these days? “these days” as in as of 2020

These early strips show just how good a cartoonist Mr. Schulz was.

I like the “Pikes Peak” on the wagon! Lofty aspirations, Charlie!

And this strip was published long before Wagon Train premiered on TV.

If this is one of the 1951 strips, then $15 would be $145 in today’s money, going by the consumer price index. $245 going by the unskilled wage. Source measuringworth.com.

Pretty expensive for a costume to play in.

Ah yes, by the banks of the old Swanson River, eating those TV dinners at the end of a long day on the trail.

Maybe it’s only a flesh wound.

correct response should have been ’it’s only a flesh wound’

I vaguely recall those days. Mostly for the humiliating aspect that my feet were too narrow for boots, so I had to jingle a pocketful of pennies to simulate spurs.

Patty really bought into the scenario!

Wait! If you’re playing the indian, you have to have your shirt off.

Am I the only one who roots for the Indians now?

Let’s play Don and Nancy!

I think Snoopy’s done playing.

“Treace peaty” … nice touch.
