Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 27, 2021

And how do you know how much a punch in the nose hurts?

Lucy’s more into giving punches than taking them.

Patty always was a practical one. I remember when the gauge was “a poke in the eye with a sharp stick”

I’m still in favor of Linus’ “boarding up her mouth” concept.

Someone tell Lucy that the earlobes don’t have the nerves to hurt. It’s more of a pinch than a punch.

I’m still surprised that Lucy is asking Patty for “beauty” tips? And that Patty answered.

Good measuring system.

Ask Linus from yesterday’s comic

Me? My scale is whether it will hurt more than passing a kidney stone or less than passing a kidney stone… :(

Oh you young whipper snappers. When I was a little boy, only “ladies of the evening” had pierced ears. Now little girls have them. – Culture changes.

“Who wants to get a punch in the nose?” says the queen of punching people!

Lucille? I didn’t realise that Lucy was short for something else. TIL

It’s rare when we see Lucy and Patty interact.

These really are two different people, aren’t they?

How about an:

Patty (or will it be Patricia in this arc?) has given some sensible advice here

Depends on who is doing the punching

“Lucille?” Ha ha. I’ve never seen Patty refer to Lucy like that before. Now I have the Little Richard song in my head.

Punch her in the nose.

Lucille?

It is closer to trimming a fingernail too short.

Lol Can you Imagine these two going at it???

How often did Lucy talk to Peppermint Patty?

makes sense I guess. (Lucille??)

Would you like a knuckle sandwich?

Makes more sense than “bigger than a breadbox?”

That’s the most sense she has ever made.

I’ve never been punched in the face but I’ve been hit in the face with a kick ball.

I think PP and Lucy live far enough apart that it would be rare for them to be able to interact.

What about psychological pain?

Lucille, love it. She’s also the only one to call Charlie Brown Chuck.

it would hurt more

That’s a pretty pinch, I guess.
