Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 08, 2017

now Peppermint Patty will wonder why the mute, funny-nosed kid is sleeping in a tree

Patty’s not the brightest girl, more oblivious than dumb, but she was still my favorite even when she could be a little pushy. I always liked that she excelled in sports and was raised by her single dad whom she loved dearly (she was his “rare gem”). She could be tough with a strong sense of justice, she could be emotionally vulnerable (just read the strips about her crying about her looks compared to “the little red-haired girl”- it’ll break your heart), and she genuinely cared about people; sometimes with crushes on boys (like “Chuck”!). She is a rare gem indeed and kudos to Sparky for creating her.

In MASH, Charles and Klinger got lost in a windstorm and got lost right next to camp.

Sleep on Woodstock, Snoopy you should get a extra milkbone for his service.

There’s a strip where Snoopy spends the night at Woodstock’s in the “guest bedroom”—which is a nest on another branch.

looks more comfy than the roof of Snoopy’s doghouse!

Day after day, alone on a branch

The dog with the foolish grin

Is keeping perfectly still

But nobody wants to know him

They can see that he’s just a fool

And he never gives an answer

But the fool on the branch

Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the world spinning round

Snoopy’s no Catbird is he? He’s a Bird Dog!
