Strip by: Reisen U. Inaba

Lucy: Charlie Brown! Would you say that snow goes down or up?
Charlie Brown: Well, I...
Lucy: Don't answer! I know just what you're going to say, and you're wrong!
Lucy: Have you ever gone to bed at night with the ground all bare and then got up the next day, and found it covered with snow?
Lucy: It came up Charlie Brown! It came up overnight!
Charlie Brown: Oh good grief, I can't stand it!
{Five years later...}
Linus: It's a shame that it has to snow only in winter...
Linus: If it snowed in summer, a person could stay outside more, and enjoy it more...
Lucy: Well, I'll say one thing of you...
Lucy: The quality of your stupidity is rising!
