February 14 Sight gag.  Did kids of Charlie Brown's age play hockey?  I think he's around seven at this time. The splash lines aroun...

The stamp pressed directly upon Lucy's head like that reminds me of the old Garfield strips where he'd attempt to ship someone he ...

We've already seen strips in which Lucy fusses over something to Charlie Brown, who blandly walks away, sometimes after dumping someth...

More turnabout/chase shenanigans with Lucy. It's another version of the beach ball strip . (And in fact, it seems fairly easy to get...

Usually turnabout/chase strips only concern two characters, but Patty in this one is just a bystander. So, let's return to the subje...

This is a rather funny strip; the turnabout in the last panel is pretty sharp. Again, for this one to work you have to know about Schroed...

Lucy still has her round eyes (which look even weirder than usual in the second panel). Snoopy says "Shh!" And it's another...

How does someone with a face covered with hair blush? Looking at Violet walking here, she looks very similar to the style of the charact...

There is a whimsicalness to early Peanuts that I find appealing. It's not just that Lucy washed her hands in Charlie Brown's glas...

It's a turnabout/chase strip in which Charlie Brown didn't intentionally insult Patty. He seems to be growing out of his smart-al...

It's been a while since we had a turnabout/chase strip! Patty threatening to hit CB with her beloved doll is nice.

A prescient strip. Here's the article from inside that issue. (Also, it's another turnabout chase strip.)

Patty gets back at Charlie Brown for past chase strips. Two things: 1. Charlie Brown's mouth looks a little weird in the last panel.  Ev...

Another chase.  I have to disagree with Charlie Brown in the last panel, that was not really all that notable a joke.

Turnabout, chase, bad joke, etc.  Charlie Brown's quip this time, "Someday I'll probably drive this poor girl crazy," show...

Another turnabout joke, that being my name for these strips where there's a sudden rush of anger in the last panel based on something a ...

Another turnabout strip, another chase, and more of CB's playful insulting of Patty's looks.  The punchline, "It's risky, b...

Another chase here, after Charlie Brown slyly insults Patty, who is beginning to show almost Lucy-like characteristics of ire.  Also, check ...
