Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for December 05, 2023

Looking at that, everyone is going to need glasses for that.

Then there’s the joke about the Czech gentleman who went to an English optician. “Can you read the bottom line, please?” “Read it?” responded the gentleman. “I know him well!”

We finally know CB and his friends are four years old at this point.

I remember the first eye chart as a kid. Just had to point in the direction the E M 3 W was pointing Since I didn’t know letters at that age.

I was wearing glasses by the time I entered kindergarten in 1966. I was four going on five then.

Take a second opinion, CB…just not from Lucy!

Bottom line reads: “Made in China”

Also: 42

“Tell me what direction the ‘x’ is pointing.”

I’ve worn glasses since I was 8.

It reminds me of having to wear eyeglasses at that age, even though the problem was amblyopia, which eyeglasses didn’t fix. After 25 years, I simply stopped wearing eyeglasses, which lasted another 25 years until I began using reading glasses. The bottom line was I should have been wearing an eyepatch over the good eye, frocing the “lazy eye” to take up the slack.

Don’t be so worried, Chuck…the examiner appears to be dyslexic!

There exists x factorial percent ?

It’s not your eyes, CB, it’s her writing, or printing.

Notice the “11/3” in the lower left corner of the last panel?

If you go to 1950/11/03 page of peanuts, you will find that it read “10/3”. Apparently they “corrected” it in colorization.

10/3 was the second day peanuts ran. It could be that Schulz was working one month ahead, except that the neighboring days get it right.
