Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 18, 2021

Why is she even allowed back in his house?

Can’t beat her at her own game, can you, Schroeder?

Instead, he scratched it by breaking it over her head…

How can he make harmonious music when there is such a discordant noise around him?

Who has elbows sharp enough to scratch a wooden surface?

How can you scratch a piano with your own elbows?

Hopefully, Schroeder got some insurance on this piano…

Oh no you don’t, Ms. Van Pelt! Schroeder has found another piano and you’re not going to come between them again! If you so much as look at it, he will beat you senseless until you are completely dead.

When Lucy misses the point, she really misses the point, ha

I know you’re still young, Schroeder; but not a great pickup line.

Neither Schroeder nor any other boy in Peanuts would dare strike a girl, of course.

A lavender piano. Very elegant. Maybe Liberace sent it to him when he heard about the previous piano’s “accident”.

Just pound her anyway…..all the way out your door….and then pound her in your yard….

He ought to chain it to the table so she doesn’t run off with it

Get some pepper spray, Schroeder.

In spite of everything that has passed, she is still with him. Love is it?….

No it’s Van Pelt will pound the dwarf Liberace.

It’s hard to earn a living as a musician. Will Schroeder still be cute when he’s indigent?

Is it a tad larger than his old piano? An upgrade?

Angry or indignant?

Save time and get the message across, pound her now.

Lucy doesn’t get what he’s really telling her. “You destroyed two of my pianos, get out my house and NEVER come back!”

But do the black keys work?
