Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 08, 2021

And charge it to Lucille Van Pelt.

After what she did to your piano Schroder, why is she in your house?

Why not, Lucy, go to the piano shop and destroy their stock? That’ll teach Schroeder to love you.

Now I want to see that arc where she threw his piano to a kite-eating tree.

I remember the kite eating tree eating the piano, but I don’t think the reruns have shown that storyline.

Send the bill to VanPelt family!

Lucy is an obnoxious little girl.

File the restraining order before it gets there

The Ace Piano Company must be used to these, um, unusual reasons for replacing his piano by now.

Baarorso 33 minutes ago“Ace Piano Company” do you know the number of a good mallet manufacturer? I have a pest to squash!

I think a little girl will get a lump or two of coal in her Christmas stocking this year.

Is there a discordant note in this piano order?

Would Lucy say that if he ordered it from Amazon?

Not a prob, Lucy, with the current shortage of delivery drivers and the price of gasoline.

Ace pianos are no. 1!

“—thrown down the sewer by a total psycho.” You forgot that part.

The kite eating tree eating the piano sequence took place in 1969.

Schroeder should get a digital piano so he can wear noise (Lucy) cancelling headphones! Win/Win.

Can I interest you on an extended warranty on that piano.

A few years later “Ace” moved into the insurance business. I guess they don’t insure toy pianos.

Lucy, Schroeder is definitely putting you on a restraining order after what you did.

Missing an “m” in that piano company’s name?

Maybe his mom wants him to socialize, lol

I can picture the person taking Schroeder’s order doing a cartwheel thanks to loudmouth Lucy.

Now if he had ordered Bagpipes or a banjo………?

Lucy’s paying for it, right?

Just sock her one – right in the kisser!!!

Ditch the girl.

Get a baby-grand. I’d like to see her toss that down the storm-drain!

As he is a serious influencer (even before social media) Ace Piano Company should invite him to personally try their new pianos. And give him all the milk and cookies he wants before he makes such an important decision.

After what she did to his piano, she has to be bat guano crazy to think he wants to have anything to do with her.

Belt her.

“Oh, and how much do you charge to permanently remove a piano hating female? She’s the reason my first piano was chewed up by a kite-eating tree and the last one ended up in the sewer. What? Same day delivery and you’ll take her away too for just an extra $10? SIGN ME UP!!!!”

You don’t suppose this is how they came up with extended warranties?

Am I the only one who finds the comments which advocate Schroeder to “belt” Lucy uncomfortable and even misogynistic? I say this as a guy.

Timing is very important with pianos.

Ordering a product over the phone. Decades before online ordering arrived.

I remember a comic where Schroeder had a stack of pianos in the closet. And another closet full of Beethoven busts.
