Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 22, 1953
Transcript:
Charlie Brown rolls a huge snowball tomake a snow man. He says, ">Whew!< I haven't worked this hard in years!"<BR><BR> Patty watches and says, "I like to see ayoung man work hard.. It's a sign that he's ambitious, and someday will make a good husband."<BR><BR> Patty sits on the front step while Charlie Brown works on his snowman. Patty says, "That's going to be a slick snowman, Charlie Brown."<BR><BR> Charlie Brown climbs on top of the snowman and jams a carrot in the snow for a nose. Patty syas, "I guess maybe you're what they call a perfectionist, huh?"<BR><BR> Charlie Brown looks at the snowman and says, "Yes, I guess I am. But sometimes, I think I'm even more than that." The snowman wears an apron and has long hair, making it a snow woman.<BR><BR> Patty asks, "What do you mean?"<BR><BR> Charlie Brown stands in the middle of twenty or so snowmen and says, "I'm the kind of person that overdoes things!"<BR><BR>
wow! So Calvin’s obsession with snowmen was a ripoff of Schulz! I love Waterson’s work – but it’s now clear to me that he ripped off Charles. (just kidding)
