Is This Goodbye, Charlie Brown? Page #3

---

...and I wanted to straighten out

a few things.

- Oh?

- We gotta get this straight, Chuck...

...so if you wanna come and see me,

well, I guess it'll be okay.

Wha...? See you? Wha...?

Yes, I realized you're all overcome,

Chuck, so I'll help you.

Yep, if you wanna take me out...

...oh, say, to the movies or something,

why, it'll be okay, Chuck.

[MUMBLES]

Of course,

if you try to hold my hand, Chuck...

...I'll have to slug you.

Okay, kid,

thanks for the invitation and the call.

Now go to sleep.

No more sleepless nights, hey, Chuck?

Well, I'm glad the kid got it off his chest.

It's kind of funny.

I never knew

old wishy-washy Chuck had fallen for me.

Boy, a deed well done.

[SNORING]

Wha...? What am I doing here?

Hello, hello?

Boy, I must be cracking up.

What am I doing here...

...in the middle of the night?

I dreamt

that I spoke to Peppermint Patty.

I must be going bonkers.

Now I'm wide-awake.

It's time to get up.

Good grief, it's 1:30 in the morning.

What am I doing up

at this unearthly hour?

Maybe I'm dead.

I wonder if I'll ever fall asleep again.

Maybe this is it, never to sleep.

[SNORING]

Good morning, sir. You're up early.

Yes, Marcie, I'm up.

I don't know quite how to put it, Marcie,

but I'm waiting for a date.

I was invited last night, Marcie.

You'll never guess with whom

I had a heart-to-heart talk.

You didn't call and bother Charles,

did you, sir?

What do you mean, Marcie,

bother Chuck?

Last night, Chuck offered to take me

to a movie or something.

And I'm waiting for him.

Of course, I'm just being polite.

No mushy stuff for me, Marcie.

If Chuck gets too fresh, I'll deck him.

I'm sure Charles would never do that, sir.

Well, Marcie, I don't wanna be rude...

...but two's company

and three's a crowd.

Get what I mean?

I hope you don't have to wait too long.

So long, sir.

Not to worry, Marcie.

Good morning, Charles.

Good morning, Marcie.

Any news from Linus or Lucy?

As a matter of fact, yes.

Here's the second card I've received

since they left.

You read it. I'm too sleepy.

"Dear Charlie Brown...

...the farther we go,

the more crabby Lucy gets.

I don't know how much longer

I could take her crabbiness.

Dad says that he's sorry already

that he made the move.

And he jokes

about sending Lucy back home.

I wish he would send me back.

Ask Sally

if she has seen any good movies lately. "

You miss them, don't you, Charles?

Yes, I do.

You're not getting much sleep,

are you, Charles?

As a matter of fact, untiI last night,

I was sleeping pretty well.

Want to tell me about it, Charles?

Well, last night,

I felt sure I was cracking up.

I awakened standing up, holding the phone
