Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 20, 2015

Joe Cool always has a shot.

This is gonna be epic!

I’m as stumped as Snoopy when it came to Petaluma. Is that in the Philippines or somewhere?

California

Big chicken town, Petaluma.

Petaluma sounds as much fun as Cucamunga!

This was long before the WWE 1980’s wrestling craze, Hulk Hogan was in diapers at the 1968 time, I think.

And with this strip, the most famous line in comics history is born…

“PETALUMA?”

Petaluma: home of The Tech Guy & TWIT

The Masked Marvel?

Home of the Charles Shultz “museum” and a great old town.

Dogs have “wrists”?

This Day in Armwrestling History…

46 years ago today – May 3rd, 1968

The 7th World’s Wristwrestling Championship is held in Petaluma, California. The event receives more media attention than ever before, thanks to the Championship being featured in a Peanuts storyline during the 10 days leading up to the tournament. Charles Schulz’ comic strip is the most popular one in the world, which results in millions of people learning about Petaluma and the Wristwrestling Championship for the first time. A couple of teenagers shine on this day. John Brayton, a senior in high school, wins the 32-man lightweight class and 17-year old Jim Dolcini takes the 200-pound title by beating 1967 champ Jim Pollock in the finals. (Dolcini had lost to Pollock in the 1967 200-pound final at only 16 years of age!) Mickie Novis wins the Women’s Division for the second year in a row. And 1963 Unlimited Division champion Duane “Tiny” Benedix comes out of retirement after a five-year hiatus to become the first person to reclaim the Unlimited Division world title.

The final Petaluma-themed Peanuts strip is also published on this day. Snoopy had been training for the Championship, but in the end he is disqualified because he has no thumbs!

As “B.C” reminds us, clams don’t have thumbs either…….

“Petaluma”? Is that acceptable in public?

Petaluma!Baboo!Zamboni!

Petaluma is just North of San Francisco. It is a great place to camp at the KOA and sight see in the city.

Well, Petaluma has their own website…

I got your info…

I’m staying tuned for this!

In honor of Jack Benny, I wish to point out that the correct spelling is ‘Cucamonga’. Thanks for listening to this troll’s rant.

Petaluma is the hometown of Atlanta Braves outfielder Jonny Gomes, too.

Can anyone explain what’s so wrong with “Petaluma” for those 21 and younger?
