Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for November 29, 2022

Does she have a volume knob?

It’s fun to see in these earlier strips the beginnings of characters that were introduced after the main few like Lucy, Linus, Schroder and they became long running to the end characters, then we have Charlotte here, who ends up being a strike-out character, after seeing her get introduced in a big way.

Even I at times have a tendency to SUDDENLY TALK LOUD when I don’t mean to.

My college roommate would TALK OVER anyone she was afraid might interrupt her. Just raise her voice and go on talking.

I don’t think any of the Peanuts gang is going to call her, “Good ol’ Charlotte Braun.”

Meanwhile in an alternate reality, Charlotte is still in the comics to this day

We all know people like that!

I talk loud as my working environment required it !

then new way the Left Debates

Related to Brian Blessed?

INDOOR VOICE, kid. Indoor voice

This was a good arc, watching the other characters react to Charlotte.

Over my almost-69 years, I thought I had read every Peanuts strip ever drawn, many times over. But I have no memory at all of Charlotte Braun.

I don’t remember this character at all.

I was taught to enunciate clearly and to project my voice. That can come across as speaking too loudly. But when people speak too softly, you may have to ask them to repeat.

She’s practicing for marriage.

That’s the way to “put over” a point. Interesting turn of phrase. Most would say “make” a point. The point apparently being, HOW DO YOU DO?

ENOUGH with this character, already! My screaming is upsetting the neighbor’s gerbils!!!

Lucy’s reaction: Meh! Amateur!

I didn’t know there were two Patties in the strip.
