Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 31, 2021

Beethoven gave up a lot for his art… or did he?

Name three musicians who never married because Beethoven didn’t, Lucy. I dare ya.

Composers would NEVER marry a bully like you Lucy! ;P

Lucy should find a guy who wants to get married, and buy him a piano.

Roll over Beethoven

And a big da, da, da, dum! for Beethoven.

James Buchanan was no musician, and he never married.

Well, Schroeder has Beethoven, and you Lucy, have Bella Abzug as your role model … apparently …

That audacious insinuation is also not going to work, Lucy.

If those musicians had someone like you in their lives, Lucy; then they made the right decision!

Beethoven had his Immortal Beloved. Lucy, I don’t think that’s how Schroeder thinks of you. More like Endless Irritation.

Isn’t that how that whole celibacy thing got started in the church? (Thanks, St. Paul!)

Are there any married musicians? Like at all?

Not that Ludwig didn’t try, mind you…

It is apparently impossible for Peanuts to make a mention of Beethoven without someone bringing up “Roll Over Beethoven” in the comments.

Finally, I know who to blame…50 years later.

Yeeeees, because you being annoying has no effet at all.

Geez, who would’ve thought Beethoven was an incel this whole time?

I heard a song with that had this advice:

Never marry a musician, if you want to have a life.

Never marry a musician; he already has a wife.

I love how Lucy’s volume can physically flip the other characters…

With you around, Lucy, Schroder needs an influence like Beethoven
