Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 24, 2022

you know pretty well, Lucy, that you nor Linus will live 500 years

Poor Linus…. Even his mother is encouraging Lucy to “beat” (up) him (with Lucy’s 5 good reasons on her hand)

If Lucy is still small enough to eat at the baby table, she must be what? Three, max?

At least her mom didn’t deliver that worn out line about poverty- stricken kids who’d love to eat that food.

Must be Brussel sprouts, spinach, or other food kids do not like to eat!

I forgot about the crazy ‘high chair’ Shultz used! It looks like Ron’s circular desk from “Parks and Rec”. Did kids ever have high chairs that were basically tables with a hole in the middle?? :D

I wouldn’t tell Lucy to “beat her brother”. She might take that literally.

Where’s the trombone sound?

That’s my answer to everything

Wow! An adult speaks in this strip! The only time I can remember this happening.

what kind of table was that, with a hole in the center ?

Old school child’s table. They cant get out of the chair.

You can have bragging rights until lunch Lucy.

Wow…making eating a competition. That’s not healthy.

Who knew Lucy had such insight?

I had a high chair like that when I was little…

And thus started America down the road to high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. All because parents forced their child to eat when they were not hungry.

Mine did the same thing, but as children growing up in the Great Depression, that was sort of expected.

Google Translate. The original script read “wawawa waa wa wawa” in the second cell.
