Line 92:
** Do keep in mind, the bully wasn't very good at marbles. He would challenge little kids who were still learning to a "friendly" game, then take all the marbles and run. Anyone with moderate skill could beat him. Still, the fact that Charlie Brown chooses to be that anyone says something.
* Even for Charlie Brown standards, the New Year's special is cruel. Why does Charlie Brown's teacher make him read ''[[War and Peace]]'' during Christmas vacation ''and'' expect him to write a report on it?! Did he put a tack on her chair or something? When I was in school, my teachers never gave us homework during Christmas vacation, especially not impossible ones like that. It's because of Charlie's teacher being such a [[The Grinch|Grinchette]] that I can't stand that special.
** I think it was based on a storyline in the comic strip in which he was required to read ''[[
** [[This Troper]]'s fifth-grade teacher pulled that kind of shit, though not with anything as long as ''[[War and Peace]]''. Every evening, weekend, and school holiday was consumed by reading or writing reports. I strongly suspect that my lasting difficulties with essays are a direct result of this.
** Never mind the length: What kind of psycho assigns a novel that features illegitimacy, death in childbirth, mangled battlefield corpses, attempted suicide and (implied) abortion to a grade school kid?
Line 121:
*** But where would she get an ax?

** Maybe, although he doesn't love her and indeed finds her annoying, he nonetheless on some level appreciates the company and the attention. In the early sixties there was a storyline in which Lucy and Linus move away, supposedly for good. Schroeder is shown playing piano alone, when the hovering musical notes fade away and are replaced by an adoring Lucy, leaning on the staff. He stops playing and says, "Don't tell me [[Shout
* This is the same troper from the above two entries. Anyway, it just bugged me that [[Generic Guy|Shermy]] got brother chucked and replaced by Franklin, who was virtually the same, except for the fact [[Token Minority|he was black]]. [[The Other Wiki]] or somewhere else once said that Franklin "proved to be more interesting in the long run". How exactly was he more interesting? Are black people more interesting than white people? Does Franklin have better hair? Why Why Why? (I do not hold anything against Franklin nor am I a Shermy fan or a racist, this is just something that bugged me)
** A lot of Schultz's characters tended to fade in and out. Patty, Frieda and Violet kind of disappeared after a while, too (although I think Patty might've been ousted when Peppermint Patty became popular so people wouldn't be confused by two Pattys).
