1. 11 days ago on Calvin and Hobbes

   This strip would probably not go over well if it were released for the first time today.

2. 14 days ago on Calvin and Hobbes

   I’m usually sympathetic to Calvin’s long-suffering mother, but not this time. Calvin has the right to carry his stuffed tiger anywhere he wants. But the owners of the dog who stole Hobbes don’t have the right to let their dog wander around unleashed, knocking over small boys.

   This mishap is not Calvin’s fault; it’s the dog’s owner’s fault. But Calvin’s mother is blaming him.

   He tripped coming UP the stairs?

   I think Calvin grew up to become Joe Biden.

   No wonder Lucy pulls the football away. He was a mean little jerk back then.

5. 12 months ago on Luann

   I think you’re being a bit harsh. Two days ago, Bernice pointed out that she’s six years old; therefore Luann is about the same age. Seriously, how much are you expecting from six-year-olds?

   Guys, he just said that’s what it “looks like.” He didn’t say that Schulz actually used a computer to copy and paste.

   And he has a point. The facial expressions and body position on Shermy and Patty in the third panel are exactly the same. They’re so close, it’s like Schulz used a stencil to draw two matching figures, then just added the hair and clothing to distinguish them.

   This is one of the more disturbing strips. In the second to last panel, we see that Charlie Brown might have come to serious injury if he had slid off that sled. Maybe broken teeth or bones in his face.

   Bad Lucy.

   On the other hand, perhaps Charlie Brown did this intentionally to take the wind out of Lucy’s sails, so to speak.

   Look at the miserable expression Lucy has on her face in the last panel. She clearly got no enjoyment out of doing this. So, perhaps this was a clever ploy by Charlie Brown.

   In the past, Lucy has derived sadistic pleasure by her malicious pranks on Charlie Brown. Look at November 2, 1952, for instance. (Warning: the potential for injury in this strip makes it slightly disturbing.)

   I think Charlie Brown Jr.’s uncanny resemblance to Schroeder was meant to imply that Schroeder was the actual father.

    Who’d buy her? “Hey, I have a loud-mouthed, bullying, domineering 7-year-old shrew. Wanna buy her?”
