Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for November 20, 2023

Is hopscotch anything like scotch and soda?

Common game way back, I wonder if kids still play Hopscotch?!

She just needs to toe the line.

I wonder how you win.

This is the fourteenth “Peanuts” strip. So far, Patty has been in 10, Shermy in 8, Snoopy in 7, and Charlie Brown in 7. As for dialogue, Patty has had dialogue in 6 of her 10, Shermy 5 of his 8, and Charlie Brown 3 of his 6. (I do not count or <?> to be dialogue).

Breaking down by panels (4 per strip), Patty has been in 31 panels, 11 with dialogue; Shermy 27 panels, 11 with dialogue; Snoopy 28 panels (all 4 panels in the 7 strips in which he’s appeared), with no dialogue; and poor Charlie Brown, has been in 13 panels, 3 with dialogue.

Useless trivia of the day: Hopscotch is one of the games prohibited by the Buddha in the sixth century BC.

So far we haven’t seen Charlie Brown’s iconic zig-zag pattern on his shirt.

That’ll do it.
