October 15, 1953: There is such a thing as being too self-effacing

Peanuts

At least Charlie Brown isn't claiming to be perfect anymore.

This is more like the CB we know, and it also points to what we might call a later personality problem with him. His sense of self-consciousness about his failure kind of sabotages him sometimes. Remember the sequence where he's at camp with a paper bag over his head, and becomes successful and popular? My guess would be it's because, under the shield of anonymousness, it means he can focus more on what he's doing, rather than what he's observing about what he's doing.

Chagrimace!

(Sorry for the lack of updates over the past two days, internet is intermittent right now.)

January 14, 1952: And I thought I was the only kid who read that stuff.

Peanuts

Schroeder should have been more specific. At least he’s talking, and isn’t on that piano.
