* LateForSchool: On the last day of class, Charlie Brown stays up all night waiting at the bus stop, and falls asleep by the time it arrives. He chases it all the way to school, only to find that the front gate is locked, so he has to climb ''up and over'' the fence. His reward for such an effort is a one-way ticket to the principal's office.
