So is it canon that Charlie Brown's left arm is shorter than his right arm?
As canon as it gets. His right arm is about 63 pixels from shirt sleeve to fingertip, and his left arm is about 50 pixels. The angle depicted, if anything, would exaggerate the difference
Is there supposed to be a joke here?
the joke is he didn't know how to read the clock so instead he held out his arms the same way the clock did. Took me reading the description to get it too lol
Charlie Brown is about 4 in these early comics, so it's understandable he wouldn't be able to read a clock
Do we know how much older Patty is than Charlie Brown? I knew that Linus and Sally were younger, but I always assumed that the rest of the gang were in the same year.
We don't know exactly, but here's this:
Patty was apparently the oldest child in the early days of Peanuts, as shown by one strip which revealed that she attends school but Charlie Brown does not.
I got a wristwatch on my 4th birthday. I'm pretty sure I knew how to read an analogue clock by that age.
Oooooh, I don't know why but I read it as if Charlie Brown was saying the time and doing the thing with his arms lol.
