Part 1 of 4 A Peanuts Comic. Once again Lucy has goaded Charlie Brown into trying to kick a football, and (as usual) she jerks the ball away at the last second, sending Charlie flying into the air. This time however Charlie lands heavily on his neck and is killed instantly.

Part 2 of 4 Lucy kicks Charlie Brown to check if he’s dead. Which he is. Exasperated, and worried she’ll be blamed for his death, Lucy begins to drag Charlie’s now lifeless body towards the creek.

Part 3 of 4 Lucy dumps poor ol’ Charlie Brown into the creek and watches him float away.

Part 4 of 4 Lucy heads back to Charlie Brown’s backyard to pick a fight with Snoopy in order to establish an alibi. Unfortunately a disheveled, crumpled man with a cigar is already there. “Miss, have y’seen this dog? He’s best friends with a BIRD. Can you believe that?” That’s right folks. Columbo is here to avenge Charlie Brown.

Lucy van Pelt has finally gone too far. But she will be brought to justice

This was their response:

Hey, if anybody needs to make a call, I’ve got a phone.

Nine of my books have been pirated by Mark Zuckerberg, the creative visionary behind 'The Facebook', the 'Metaverse' and a website to rank the attractiveness of women. societyofauthors.org/2025/03/21/t...

Good advice here on action for authors to take - I’ll be doing this

Men only want one thing: To be praised when they manage to fast-forward straight through the ads at x30 and stop it right as the show comes back on.

Just a thought on the subject of fellow Children's author, Xander Armstrong & private schools.
