Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for September 10, 2021

poor Schroeder

Next: Three shades of red.

OK; I’m guessing NO one else will sympathize with my gripe. But…in the left hand music — Bass Clef — we’re shown the key of Bb: B flat and E flat. But on the right hand part — Treble Clef — we see a key signature with an Ab and Eb — something that would never appear in any sort of musical notation.

In his later years I’m pretty sure Schulz paid closer attention to this sort of stuff.

Polkas are fun.

That was mean, Charlie Brown!

Okay, how many people went to YouTube and searched for something like “Beethoven on Accordion”?

I did, and came up with videos supposedly featuring pieces by Beethoven, Bach, and Vivaldi done on the accordion. But I didn’t play any of them. Too early.

Please don’t make Schroeder angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry

Then Schroeder becomes the Incredible Hulk, almost a decade before the character first appeared.

So the thought of polka music mad Schroeder nauseous?

I agree with @bookworm0812’s buried comment. Green is generally the color for envy, not anger. That’s usually red.

Never saw this one reprinted in a paperback. Guess the joke is lost when the color is removed.

Who knew his last name was Banner?

I hadn’t until now……

I always thought green had to do with envy.

Love the first panel, with Schroeder facing Beethoven.

Even his blond hair turned green. That’s quite a reaction!

I love the humor, I love the art. A perfect toon!
