Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 28, 2021

Ah, the joy of TV commercials.

For those too young to remember, ‘ring around the collar’ was a catch phrase used in commercials for Wisk, a laundry detergent and stain remover. I don’t think it’s made anymore.

oh the bygone days when that was among the biggest problems…

Nice joke, Woodstock.

And everyone in the commercial would glare at the mom to make her feel guilty about failing to keep “ring around the collar” away.

“Won’t you wear my ring around your neck” (The KIng)

I haven’t used Wisk in years. Is it still on the market?

Snoops has ‘ring around the bird bath’ when he plays against Woodstock.

I remember. “Those dirty rings”. The parrot started screaming “ring around the collar”. Mr. Parrot would a feast for the cat.

He does have worms, though.

Woodstock looks so pleased with himself.

“Wisk around the color gets out ring around the collar every time.”

He doesn’t even have a dog tag.

Could be worse Snoopy. You could have ‘waxy yellow build-up’

Ring around collar better then jock itch

I thought Woodstock was going to comment on Snoopy’s tummy.

Woodstock collared you on that one Snoops.

Those flea collars didn’t work worth beans

I always like to see how the dialogue from these strips is translated into Spanish for Snoopy en Español, especially when it’s one like today’s that refers to a old TV commercial that most likely wouldn’t be known outside of the U.S.

In the Spanish translation, Snoopy says, “Excuse me… my neck collar is clean.”

Still wonder why this was the wife’s problem. Just wash your neck dude!

You really have to be a certain age to understand that punchline.

That tells us how old this comic is — I haven’t heard that commercial since caveman days.
