Charlie Brown sits on the floor with a book in his lap and says,"Gee, it's lonesome around here"
He walks off sighing.
He walks over to the telephone which sits on a table. He picks up the receiver and says,"Hello, operator?"
He leans on the table and asks,"Will you tell me a story?"
This gag is recycled from the Li'l Folks strip from September 14, 1947:
About a girl who cried a river and drowned the whole world?
