Sally’s not dumb because she’s blonde or a girl – she’s dumb because she’s dumb, just like Elmer Fudd or Gus the Goose are dumb (and Marcie, also a girl, is smart). I wouldn’t have thought that Sally’s gender or hair colour ever crossed Schulz’s mind when he drew her saying things such as this.
I was watching Looney Tunes pretty much as soon as I was born. The ending of Show Biz Bugs is to cartoons what the ending of Planet of The Apes is to live-action movies.
Which of these characters’ classroom based strips do you find funnier – Sally’s or Peppermint Patty’s?
