Must not know about working dogs. There’s even more jobs for dogs today than back then, I’d say. And you also had, and still have, hunting dogs. And even back then there was obedience school.
Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him “Rover” or “Spot”. I call mine Sex.
When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, I took the dog with me. When we checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for me and my wife and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the motel is a place for sex. I said, “You don’t understand… Sex keeps me awake at night.” The clerk said, “Me too!”
Funny to realize that, back when this comic came out, less than half of American households had television, and if they did, many of those only had 1 or 2 channels.
This strip appeared a year or two before I was born. About that time, our area had one channel. It selected which shows to present, and skipped around between networks. Even when I was in junior high, one station switched between NBC and ABC, with the former usually winning.

Yeah, they say “It’s a dog’s life” for a reason!

Give Snoopy a little time. He’ll compensate.

If only they knew what a baseball-socking TV star Snoopy would become! He’s even a movie star, now.

Especially when movies and television were worth more back then… baseball’s still pretty much OK.

My dog sits next to me each evening and we watch Wheel of Fortune together.

Snoopy’s got it OK – some dogs REALLY have it “Ruff”! (Sorry sorry!)

No baseball? Let him play shortstop.

No movies? No television? She obviously has never been in Snoopy’s doghouse.

Odd. My dog, named Charlie Brown, gets to watch lots of TV. :-)
