August 28. We can all identify with this extension of the broken heart metaphor. Charlie Brown has these sorts of observation often.

August 23. A perfect capper to the running gag about Charlie Brown's taciturn bunkmate at summer camp!

August 1. How many of us similarly take all our special privileges for granted and grumble as though our failure is someone else's fault?

July 14. Gearing your lifestyle to avoid pain is nothing but waste of opportunity, but how do you maintain that conviction when a painful missile knocks you flat on your bottom?

July 5. I love this witty commentary on most people's tendency to be too detailed when spinning a story for others.

July 2. A classic Lucy laugh line. Bangarang!

May 12. I suppose every generation has a Bob Dylan they can't believe would ever turn thirty.

May 9. A good quip at the expense of modern greeting cards!

April 11. The Easter Beagle! This scene was directly inserted into the television special. :-)

April 3. Rarely is Charlie Brown's age brought up, but this strip implies he is eight years old.
