Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 17, 2021

My favorite: In “The Music Man (1962)” we learn that the town’s big benefactor is “Mr. Madison” with lots of stuff named after him. What was his FIRST NAME? HINT: It is never said — BUT you can make it out on the base of his statue that Prof. Hill dances around during the “Trouble” number.

Val Duran played Talu, the hijacking pilot. Had to look it up.

At least Snoopy knew it wasn’t the WWI Flying Ace!

Don’t feel bad, Snoopy. I know many of the actors in that movie, but not that one.

Woodstock could have made a fortune because this came out before “Trivial Pursuit” did…

i just watched that movie! darned if i know…….

The 1972-1973 version of “Lost Horizon” featured great songs in it to make it a movie musical like “Living Together, Growing Together”, “The World is a Circle”, and “Question Me an Answer”.

Shangri-La was FDR’s codename for Camp David. When the Japanese asked where the planes that bombed Tokyo during the Doolittle Raid came from, he replied, “Shangri-La.”

I read the book 30 odd years ago, never seen the movie so i haven’t got the vaguest idea.

The real question for this chat group is – who was the pilot of the plane that took Uncle Scrooge to Tralla La, for two million dollar. Carl Barks never gave him a name.

Speaking of trivia, I didn’t even know that Ronald Colman arrived in Shangri-La with a plane. I seen the movie 3 or 4 times and I had thought that Colman had to struggle through blinding snow, and climb steep and narrow mountain cliffs before he came upon the Shangri-La valley?

Am I the only one who finds it annoying… people referring to the actor’s name instead of the character’s name when referring to their role in a film or television show? It’s even worse when they mix referring to one person as their character and another as their real name.

Woodstock is the smartest bird that you’d ever see, but not so much with flying.

GEEZE Snoopy, every one knows it was David Cavendish. Val Duran played Talu, the highjacking Pilot.

I was never any good at the entertainment questions. Ask me history, science, and maybe sports any day. I was kind of hit or miss with the lit questions too.

Woodstock obviously spends a lot of Saturday nights watching old movies in Snoopy’s doghouse.

Trick question: the plane didn’t take Colman to Shangri-La; it crashed before they got there.

What?

Indiana Jones?

Bugs Bunny.

So in other words, don’t play Trivial Pursuit with Woodstock unless you’re playing teams and he’s on your team.

Oops! The important suggestion to GoComics is to delay to February 18-19. Be prepared still.

A contented Woodstock, a la panels 3&4, is the best Woodstock.

First time i seen Snoopy say “Good Grief”

But i think he said it before, i can’t remember
