Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for January 27, 2021

As of 2020 and 2021, because of a pandemic. But as of the 1950s, perhaps a snow day?

Because I’m a grown adult and it’s 1 in the morning

Wait a minute, this cartoon isn’t talking to me!

Kids in this town have Zoom classes because of the pandemic. Yet I have seen School Patrol cars driving on the streets.

Any minute now, a beautiful flamenco dancer will appear onscreen, and say, “Why don’t you get out of here, Shermy?”

“This is a Public Service announcement”!

Remember the 5-secooind PSAs in the evening hours? It’s ten o’clock; do you know where your children are?

When I was a kid in the mid-1960s at ten o’clock, the TV would show a message stating, “It’s ten o’clock. Do you know where your children are?”

Big Brother Media is Watching You!

Taking truancy enforcement to a new level! These days, they could actually do this.

I love the static in the third panel. That’s how TVs really were when I was young.

But what if his mom and/or dad turned the TV on in the middle of the day to watch cartoons?

Smart tv in the 50s……

I always assumed it had to me more than just game shows and soap operas during the day…

I’ve always loved this strip. It is really funny!

Because the narcissistic, power mad politicians shut them down, despite no evidence of any danger.

Must have been mid day during a school day.

I remember this one from when I was a kid.

How they know it’s a kid watching, and not a housewife on break?
