Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 11, 2023

You sure love your brother, don’t you Sally?

Sally is. a narcissist!

LOL She did it again.

If she filed the paperwork properly, it will be too late for the room.

Sorry, Sally. You have to wait until he goes to college for the room upgrade.

… and my spot in front of the TV, thank you!

Did he leave the mound in an alley behind the supermarket?

Typical sibling.

Feel the love.

I noticed how Sally got up to greet her big brother whom she had thought lost at sea. Maybe she is watching the Huntley-Brinkley Report. And doesn’t want to miss anything.

Man, what a little work Sally is. Even before Charlie’s body has cooled, she’s divvying up his worldly possessions. Not only does she not worry for his safety or shed a tear, but she’s lining up take his stuff. I suppose she’s always wanted to be an only child.

Good grief, Sally.

No takebacks.

Reminds me of a student I knew who came to Europe on a study tour. She got a letter from her mom while she was here, telling her the mom had converted the girl’s bedroom into the mom’s new office.

Really? What’s so special about Charlie Brown’s room?

I wonder what Sally did with his room.

Life goes on, right Sally?

Sally loves free real estate…

pooooorrrrr Charlie Brown

Yes, he does, Sally.

For those who insist on taking this comic seriously and judging Sally, remember she’s a small child. A small child has no sense of time. Her brother has only been gone a short period of time, probably less than an hour. In that time, she’s lived a lifetime of enjoying his room, etc. with no sense of loss. If he was gone for hours or a day, that’s when the reality of loss would sink in.

Happened to me. Went off to college, and the first weekend I came back I found my sister had moved into my room, and the bed I had grown up with had been replaced with a day bed.

Even without a crystal ball,I knew Sally was going to say that

Come’ on Sally… you have to wait 3 days, to dibs his room, is the law

Woody Allen did a great standup routine about being kidnapped by someone in a car that lured him with candy and a promise to take him to a magic land of fairies, etc. He figured why not, he was home from college for the weekend, and off he went. When his parents received the ransom note, they “immediately sprung into action, and rented out his room”. The subsequent negotiations between parents and kidnappers become increasingly hilarious.

Figures she’d have already moved into his room.

Did CB share a bottle of cheap wine with wino’s in the alleyway?

Before Rodney Dangerfield (rest his soul), Charlie Brown couldn’t get any respect.
