July 21, 1951: Hey, it's funnier than Jim Cramer

Last strip was an odd one in which Violet suggested that Charlie Brown roughly steal her flowers.

This one's a little stereotypical, but I like it a lot more. In particular, I like the matter-of-factness of Patty's attitude towards the whole thing. She doesn't have an angry expression when she whacks CB with her purse, and the doesn't use any exclamation points in describing her "mad money." To her this is just how the world works, girls smacking boys with their cash.

July 20, 1951: Oh that Charlie Brown! ♥♥♥

This is a strange strip. I don't even think I want to get into this one. Draw your own conclusions, I'm kind of disturbed.

July 19, 1951: Schroeder's still a baby

It won't be long....

July 18, 1951: This would make Wii Golf a lot better, in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure they don't let dogs on golf courses. Something about "digging holes" or something similar. Of course, there aren't many four-year-old kids on them, either.

July 16, 1951: Snoopy, the refined dog

Snoopy has too much ambition to shoot his mouth off.

July 11, 1951: Schroeder's first words

They are "bye-bye."

Note: NOT "Beethoven!"

July 10, 1951: Charlie Brown in a baseball game

This is the second reference to baseball in the strip, and the first that shows the kids actually playing. It looks like Patty can really belt the ball, just like her later namesake Peppermint Patty.

July 9, 1951: Just a dog

Snoopy's cute when he's offended (panel 2). Of course, his excitement dies down a bit in later years.

July 5, 1951: Snoopy victorious

It's an honest-to-goodness fight cloud in Peanuts.

I love the look on Snoopy's face. Also, who'd have thought Patty could be so bloodthirsty?

July 4, 1951: Oh, those girls!

Ha! Ha! It's stereotypical!
