Not very subtle, are they, Snoopy?

cannot be to careful

Who knew they celebrated Halloween in France back then? #alt_history

Spies have ears like little birds.

Will it be torture by feather???

Wonder how much complaining Soopy would’ve done if he’d been in a trench in France.

I think the little spies are Woodstocks?

Spies or Klansbirds?

They’re just members of a secret society. Place was full of ’em.

I have always admired and envied Snoopy’s vivid fantasy life. These days, that seems to me to be an essential survival technique, and I am doing my best to channel Snoopy. Here’s Joe Cool hanging around the quad on a warm spring afternoon.

And that is why spies are also called “spooks.”

Don’t worry, Snoopy. It’s always the women who are too talkative.

I’m allowed to say that because I am a woman. A MAN saying it would cause World War III…

This strip got me to thinking. Revelry is lively partying. Reveille is a bugle call to wake the troops. Similarly, I sometimes goof between Calvary (Christ’s crucifixion site) and cavalry (soldier horsemen). Then again, in a grade school spelling bee, I incorrectly spelled “salvage” as “savage”. Sigh.

Is that what you a bird sheet

Snoopy always says World War I. But back then there was no notion of numbering; “the war to end all wars” was known as “The Great War.” It wasn’t rechristened “World War I” until after World War II.
