What is more, the original Hebrew version of Susan means lily of the valley. I imagine that girls named Karen are picked on at school, just because someone randomly and stupidly decided to establish their name as an insult.
Lyman Frank Baum wrote 14 Oz books between 1899 and 1920. In one of them, Tik-Tok of Oz (1914), he even essentially describes a mobile phone, more than 70 years before the device was introduced!
If you like fantasy and stories which revolve around quests, then I would strongly recommend The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1913) to you – it’s the seventh novel in L. Frank Baum’s Land of Oz series. You can read it for free on Project Gutenberg.
Marcie is hopelessly in love with Charlie Brown – some of Schulz’s most poignant strips deal with Marcie and Peppermint Patty’s unrequited romantic feelings for him. When Charlie Brown was lying in hospital Marcie even announced that she would want to marry Charlie Brown when they grew up.
Just go to the calendar at the top of this page and select the date there. Every Peanuts strip which Schulz ever drew is available to read here on GoComics.
This strip is from 1970 – not 1977. GoComics skipped the April 6th 1977 strip; I guess Snoopy’s observation about hitting a “housewife” with a badly-aimed golf ball was deemed inappropriate.
