Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for September 14, 2018

Maybe a cap gun would get more of a response.

Perhaps Snoopy is the last dog from the planet Krypton Krypto in disguise.

I was 5 and he was 6

We rode on horses made of sticks

He wore black and I wore white

He would always win the fight

Bang bang, you shot me down.

Bang bang, I hit the ground.

Bang bang, that awful sound.

Bang bang, my baby shot me……. Down

Seasons came and changed the time

And I grew up, I called him mine

You would always laugh and say

“rememeber when we used to play”.

Bang bang, I shot you down

Bang bang, you hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang

Just for me the church bells rang

Hey… Hey… Hey… Hey

Now you gone I don’t know why

Till this day, sometimes I cry

You didn’t even say goodbye

You didn’t take the time to lie

Rats? No, he’s a dog…

Years later Lucy would reenact this scene except with a Glock 19 9mm

Thug life Lucy. ;D

Lucy couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.

Lucy tries to empty a fifteen-shooter into Snoopy, while Snoopy calmly walks by indifferently.

My brothers all had toy/cap guns. I wanted one. My mother hated guns and would not allow her girls to have even toy ones. My husband got me my first gun – a .22 rifle – when we were dating. I have since become proficient with most firearms and even have a marksman medal.

Give it another shot, Lucy!

I’d be in jail if people saw my children running with a gun nowadays. ):

Wow. Today there would be protests, boycotts, politicians, Charles would be called racist on news programs.

Sorry, Lucy. He’s a dog on a mission. He can’t stop to play.

Another proud graduate of the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy.

No, Snoopy is a dog. (Not a rat.)

It’s just hard to take a gunslinger in a straw boater serious.

Also: infinite ammo!

Sigh….back when they let kids play with toy guns.
