Transcript:
Charlie Brown is in the field talking to Pig-Pen. He asks, "'Pig-Pen,' why are you always so dirty?"<br> <br> He continues with his hands raised, "When in the world are you going to clean up?"<br> <br> Pigpen replies, "I have affixed to me the dirt and dust of countless ages.."<br> <br> He walks off and concludes, "Who am I to disturb history?" Charlie Brown frowns to the reader.<br> <br>
When it comes to mud and dirt Pig-Pen can get as pompous as Linus does about religion.
