Schulz used this same joke in at least two daily strips. He must have heard people using this expression, although I’ve never heard or read it outside of Peanuts. It seems to mean “to the bitter end.” We used to say “until the cows come home” or “until hell freezes over.”

It’s just an expression, Snoopy, albeit a grammatically incorrect one!

An unfortunate expression. Poor Snoopy. Think before you speak next time Charlie Brown!
