Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 31, 1954
Transcript:
Snoopy sits on the floor looking off to his right. He thinks, "Oh Oh!! Here comes 'Pig-Pen'...and he's carrying a ball.."<br> <br> He sticks his tongue out and continues, "Don't tell me he expects me to catch a ball he's been holding in those dirty hands?!"<br> <br> Pigpen tosses the ball to Snoopy and says, "Here doggie..."<br> <br> He jumps as Snoopy yelps "AAK!" and flies off in the other direction.<br> <br>
Snoopy was more like a cat in these early strips, with his aversion to dirt.
