Happy New Year, Lucy.

Does that make it so?

Does your saying Happy New Year truly make it a Happy New Year?

Not in my experience.

Everyone said things would get better. In the new year, things will change.

But here we are, one full day into the new year, and everything is exactly the same.

You think maybe we got a used year?

Probably, if the big Eastern calendar syndicate got their way.

This will just be the same lousy year over again.

You can't fight big calendar.

Well, are you gonna make any New Year's resolutions?

What?

What are you insinuating?

That I need to change?

I'm fine just the way I am.

Thank you very much.

New Year's resolutions are scams, worthless.

I don't have to improve.

How could I improve? How, I ask you, how?

I'm only asking because I'm planning to make some resolutions.

Oh, well, that's different.

I'm going to try and correct all my faults.

All of them?

Yes.

In that case, you're in luck.

We've only got one year, so there's not much time.

I've jotted down a list of your faults and all improvements you'll need to make.

Good grief.

We don't want miss anything, so I am happy to help you categorize, itemize, and prioritize everything about you we need to change.

You know Charlie Brown, this may be a Happy New Year after all.

New Year's resolutions are very important, especially for someone like you, Charlie Brown.

First, we need to address your wardrobe.
