Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 16, 2020

that’s what you get for talking to yourself within earshot of someone not exactly paying attention

He went out to find a ‘neet’ to get oil from its feet.

Isn’t Neet the same thing as Nair hair remover?

Neatsfoot oil…https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neatsfoot_oil

Wiki: Neatsfoot oil is a yellow oil rendered and purified from the shin bones and feet (but not the hooves) of cattle. “Neat” in the oil’s name comes from an Old English word for cattle.1 Neatsfoot oil is used as a conditioning, softening and preservative agent for leather. In the 18th century, it was also used medicinally as a topical application for dry scaly skin conditions.

“Prime neatsfoot oil” or “neatsfoot oil compound” are terms used for a blend of pure neatsfoot oil and non-animal oils, generally mineral or other petroleum-based oils.

That interpretation isn’t just neat, it’s nifty, Sally! :D

This is one of my favorite Peanuts cartoons!

I think that TV has rotted her brain already.

Not sure if sally was really paying attention or needs hearing aids

Don’t forget to put a ball in the pocket and tie a string around it for storage… (we used to do that for winter storage, but by my time, we had “glove oil”). :-P

Of course, mine was a softball glove…

Why Neat’s Foot Oil?

Schulz must of had fun writing this one.

I remember reading this years and years ago, and wondering what neat’s foot oil was.

Really into the program – eh, Sally?

Vibram fivefingers – live every day with gloves on your feet!

I wish my younger sister was as smart as Sally.

Sally is a one degree of separation game of telephone.

I always remember Neats foot oil and the idea of taking care of leather because of this strip

Sounds like certain individuals I know. That’s about how much attention they pay.

Future journalist

Or something like that….

‘Cause she’s a blonde (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

And they say Sally doesn’t pay attention.

K…

They are brother and sister alright. Never understanding each other inspite of living together for decades (here it may be half a decade).
