Let's Read Peanuts (Sponsored by “Snicker-Snacks”) – July 1957

There are lots of great strips I just don't have room to comment on. I strongly encourage everybody to read the full month at the official GoComics page. Today's month starts HERE.

Married? I legitimately can't remember a single interaction between them.

I really like this one because it's so rare that we get to see Charlie Brown and Lucy just doing friend stuff without one dunking on the other. It gives you a bit of insight into why they bother to spent time together.

Well they’re…

Um…

Hold on a moment...

They’re this part of a barrel, apparently.

Also while looking that up I also found this video on how barrels are made. 

Neat!

An interesting strip considering “getting called into the army” literally happened to Schulz.

The things Charlie Brown has seen will haunt him for decades.

I like Shermy’s shirt. It really gives you the impression that he has a personality of some kind.

Lookit how mad he is! :3

Thoughts

I don't ~want~ to dunk on Shermy. I actually feel kind of bad about doing it considering the way he gets unceremoniously sidelined into oblivion. But god damnit kid, get a hobby or something. Literally anything will do.

Here, I'll give you this stapler. You're the stapler kid now. You're welcome.
