Where we last left the Peanuts gang, it was late 1952 - Lucy had made her first appearance, joining the cast of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Schroeder, Shermy, Patty and Violet.
We'll kick off the next set with a reference to Charlie Brown's trademark shirt...
...but think, Violet - if you were tired of it in 1952, how tired of it were you when he wore it every day for another forty-eight years?
There were some differences between early Charlie Brown and the character he ended up becoming. Take a look at this!
I'd say I agree with Charlie Brown's thinking there, except that I now only use erasers OR pencils for Scantron cards, and rarely even use pens. I will admit that I probably couldn't get by without the 'backspace' and 'delete' keys.
Hey look! It's furniture that looked ultramodern in the fifties!
...and looks anywhere from "out of date" to "retro" by today's standards.
In the meantime, Schroeder continues to hone his piano-playing skills...
Another explanation would be that he only plays pieces written in C major (or A minor), with no accidentals. But that seems unlikely.
Really, Lucy? What was so hard about "his head is next to something roughly the same shape and size, I'll pretend to confuse them!"?
And the last strip of this batch...
Apparently Charlie Brown was mean back in the day. That is, way back in the day. So far back that they apparently had 'plaid' ice cream.
