June 6, 1952: The dangers of accepting random bugs
Kind of an anti-climatic last panel here. Most of the joke, to me, comes from the idea that Lucy just thought Charlie Brown would want a bug at all. Later on, she takes to stomping such insects with exaggerated force.
Is this the strip's first use of the phrase "good grief"? Or am I totally blanking on earlier ones?
