Peanuts: I'm not the going-to-school type!

This Peanuts includes a very Family Circus-like malapropism in the third panel when Sally proclaims that she can’t be expected to remember “all that stuff about…the electrical college.” The important thing about it, though, is that it’s not the whole point of the comic, as it would be in a Family Circus cartoon, but rather a slightly humorous sub-joke based on character and context. The actual punchline—that Sally is worried about all of this even though she’s only going to kindergarten—is in the fourth panel.

Or maybe I’m just trying to justify chuckling at something in a Peanuts comic that I would have viciously mocked in a Keane cartoon.
