Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 26, 2019

Can’t take a hint that Schroeder doesn’t like you in that sort of way, Lucy. {ducking cowardly}

And he still has no regrets!

If “Elise” was as big a loud mouth as Crabby Lucy, its no wonder Beethoven went deaf …

She wants a pearl necklace!

Cue ZZ Top.

with the way you treat him, why would he EVEN consider giving you anything?

To quote Charlie Brown, “Don’t you know sarcasm when you hear it?”

A string of pearls? Does Lucy expect Schroeder to give up Beethoven for Glenn Miller?!?

He wouldn’t even PLAY “String of Pearls” for her.

Averting future annoying interruptions: “And here’s what you won’t be getting for the next three years!”

The String of Pearls (1846–47) was a Victorian penny dreadful serial that featured as its villain “Sweeny Todd.” Perhaps that is a fitting reference to Lucy.

Lucy will never know when to quit.

Well Schroeder walked right into that one

String of Pearls by Glenn Miller. Great song.

You just deserve to be trapped in carbonite Lucy.

Charles Schulz presents….The One And Only Grouchy LUCY !!!!!!

Happy Boxing day Guys !

Is he playing Chopin’s g minor ballade? What would Beethoven say?

If he knew big band music, he could play it.

I guess I wasn’t the only one looking for a dance partner when Lucy mentioned String of Pearls!

A more innocent age, when “giving her a pearl necklace” didn’t have obscene connotations.

Just imagine if it was a reciprocal relationship?

The only “sting of pearls” Schroder knows is an old jazz standard.
