Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 24, 1968

He loves her!

This is the first, and only, appearance of Lila, Snoopy’s original owner. Lila had to give Snoopy away, so the two exchange letters. Lila became hospitalized therefore Snoopy left home to visit her. This storyline about Lila was the basis for the animated “Peanuts” feature “Snoopy Come Home”. She also appeared in “Snoopy’s Reunion”.

My 9th birthday.

Lila’s Theme (Do You Remember Me?) from “Snoopy Come Home”

I still remember

A summer gone by.

Why was it over so fast?

I still remember

When we said goodbye.

Why can’t our summer times last?

Do you remember me?

Once I called you my own.

I’m sad as I can be.

It’s no fun all alone.

Why can’t a memory

Roll away like a tear?

Why do I go

To my window,

Hoping you will appear?

’Cause I need you.

’Cause I miss you.

’Cause I wish you were here.

For some reason I’ve always imagined her somehow eventually getting together with Charlie Brown.

I THOUGHT LILA WAS A DOG
