Has there ever been an episode where the adults spoke clearly?

In the early days of the Peanuts strip, Schulz sometimes had adults talking to the kids from out-of-frame (most frequently Lucy & Linus' mother). The only actual adults seen in a Peanuts strip was from another very early strip where Lucy was participating in a golf tournament, and she was surrounded by the legs of adults. Schulz quickly abandoned having adults being seen or heard at all long before the first of the tv specials was produced.

Characters were seen speaking to adults (who were always out of frame), which was usually followed by a frame with the kid listening to the adult's reply, after which they'd respond to whatever the adult said (leaving it up to the imagination of the reader to figure out what the adult said). Since an animated show can't just have the adult's reply be silent as it was in the comic strip, Bill Meléndez came up with the "muffled trombone" concept so the viewer would still have to figure out what the adult said.

Yeah. Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back)

Also in She's a good skate Charlie Brown, for once the teacher and another lady in a store are speaking normally.

" You ain't running this place, Bert, WILLIAMS is!" Sgt Harris

Adults spoke in "The Mayflower Voyagers", and I think the announcer in "Your're the Greatest, Charlie Brown" (the one where the kids participated in a decathalon).

First of all, the adults ALWAYS speak clearly, otherwise, the kids wouldn't be understand them. Their voices are masked and muffled by the usage of a 'trumpet' to fade out the 'adult world' from what we are supposed to focus on, to make them not only distant outsiders, but also show that what they say, what words they use, is pretty much irrelevant.

The only important part about the adults are what they make the kids experience, so the adult-kid-relationship is the only reason why adults are sometimes in these cartoons. They do not really exist in the strip to the readers, but they do exist for the kids.

The only way to make this happen in a cartoon is to make clear the adults exist, but then fade them out as much as possible while still retaining their influence on the kids. The adults are not supposed to exist for US, they are only supposed to exist for the KIDS, so their world can feel more normal to use, and so they can get consequences for their actions and such.

So they ALWAYS speak clearly, but WE are not meant to hear what they say, only _THAT_ they say something - in other words, we are allowed to hear _THAT_ they speak, not WHAT they speak.

In my opinion, the trumpet-gimmick is brilliant.

Then onto your WAY too short post for a discussion forum. Your post should never be shorter than your topic - if this is the case, please delete your post until you can actually make it worthwhile for the reader.

You are making so many mistakes in such a short post, I am almost speechless.

Let's try to fix it anyway.

1) Good effort for trying to at least capitalize something. However, you are not supposed to capitalize EVERY word's first letter! Learn what you are supposed to capitalize before writing your next post, please.

2) You used the word 'than' instead of the word 'then'. Now, which do you think is correct, and why? Hint: 'than' is a comparative, you COMPARE things with it.
