Chrarlie Brown beating Lucy thread

[Deja Q]

You know he wants to stop saying "Good grief" every time she whips the football from him and beat the snot out of her!

You know it!

1. I also think Charlie Brown would really like to

1.) Cut down the Kite-Eating tree in the slowest and cruelest of ways
2.) Catch Peppermint Patty and Marcie in an intimate moment.
3.) Lastly, show that smart-alec beagle who's boss.

3. don't forget he wants to kiss the

little red headed girl

4. You're Right! I forgot about her.

Didn't he have a thing for his teacher Ms. Othmar? Or was that someone else?

[wildhorses]

6. I think he just wanted to be a "good" student...

if I recall correctly...

[freethought]

7. Somebody had a crush on Ms. Othmar!

I am positive off it. It was a Valentines Day special. One of the poor kids spent his entire piggy bank for a heart shaped box of chocolates. Only to have his heart broken when Ms. Othmar left with her boyfriend.
Linus maybe?

8. yes now that you mention it

poor old Linus...always the champion of lost causes

9. That blanket brings the boy nothing but bad luck! n/t

2. Nah, he'd never do it.

Lucy is not only a girl, she is also (at least in the early strips from the 50s) considerably younger than Charlie Brown. In his straight-laced mind, this puts her very firmly in the "do not harm in any way, regardless of provocation" category. The very idea of raising a hand to her, were it ever to occur to him, would give him nightmares for a week.

5. You're probably right.

If Chuck even thought about raising a hand to Lucy, she'd kill him many times over.
