Today Linus would sell his Kitty Crumplies as being made from “organic, acid-free recycled paper made from sustainable forests” and claim to donate a percentage of each sale to some wildlife charity. He’d be a millionaire.
Linus has given all the information not required to be given to clients. Not a good marketing strategy. A good salesman can sell a comb to a bald headed client. Why does CB has all the wrong guys in his team? That apart, I love this team a lot!
I dunno… there are such a plethora of simple things people won’t do for themselves. Corollary: any task one cannot or will not do for themselves is worth the price of someone who can and will.
Violet went through three phases in the Peanuts comic strip. In the early 50s, she was a sweet little girl with pigtails who enjoyed making mud pies and had something of a romantic crush on Charlie Brown. From the late 50s to the mid 60s she was malicious and snobbish and was always tormenting Charlie Brown by telling him what a failure he was and how greatly she despised him. Lucy was Mother Teresa compared to Violet in those days. Finally, from the late 60s to the mid 90s, Violet was Schulz’s favourite background “extra”; she no longer had any personality or did anything noteworthy, but would appear in cinema queues and the throwaway panels of Sunday strips.

With us and our cat it was balls of tin foil. When we got a new refrigerator, we found dozens of them under the old one.

She’s lying. After Linus left, she went on Amazon and bought one for 2 cents

There really are people who will buy things they can make themselves. Like dinner….you can make dinner, but you order takeout.
