Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 25, 2022

May I rephrase that?

How do you know that, Violet, when it comes to Charlie Brown’s retort?

The old “fat people are jolly” trope was never true in my experience. And that was before obesity became the norm.

Charlie Brown sure is touchy sometimes. It must have something to do with the fact that he hangs out with the wrong people.

Violet just needs to face up to the fat, er facts.

Reminds me of a fortune cookie I got once. It said “You are inquisitive and analytical by nature” and I thought to myself “I wonder what that could mean?”

No wonder you feel you are not liked, Charlie !

I’ve been cheerful and easygoing ALL my life. Just don’t argue with me.

II was asked if I’m indecisive, and I said, “Well, yes and no…”

Says one fat face to another.
