Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for October 11, 2023

Have to be brave to marry Lucy.

And why does he have to be tall? That’s so shallow of you to expect a guy to be tall, and that goes for every girl on the planet who wants a tall husband because you’re not marrying him for love and are just marrying him for his height.

Lucy likes Polkas I guess!

She could meet Myron Floren, from the Laurence Welk show

He might be still alive here :)

She has watched to many Westerns.

Back in 1940 during her first year of college, my mother was told by a young man she had a crush on that he couldn’t marry her, because she didn’t play the piano and he planned to be a pastor. All pastors’ wives had to play the piano. When she told me this in 1957, now married to a USPS driver, she sat down at our piano (only time she did this and all seven of her children took piano lessons) and played Silent Night using both hands, to perfection, got up and said nothing else.

Schroeder is apparently not planning to learn the accordion.

I heard a little girl saying something like that when I was also a little girl…but the man she specified, had to play the TROMBONE.

I see ‘accordion,’ and I mentlly hear Vincent Price in The Tingler wailing, “The walls! THE WALLS!” I’m good for about 20 seconds of accordion music.

He must also be a moron.

Accordion to experts, that’s a poor choice!

Garfield is in the next strip, Lucy. But I think Jon’s taken already.

Must be a bonafide suitor!

Must be a bonafide suitor!

Get ’er Schroder!

So, then apparently Lucy’s only options are Weird Al, Urkle, or Lawrence Welk.
