Looks like Woodstock will save the day Snoop!

Know anyone who roasts a marshmallow over a charred marshmallow (aside from Woodstock)?

MARS

Nothing like roasting marshmallows on a campfire in February in the winter. Don’t they live in Minnesota or Wisconsin?

It only takes a spark, to get a fire going.

Ah, the Beagle Scouts?

Roasting marshmallows on a roasted marshmallow. What will they think up next?

Toasting marshmallows is an art. It has to be handed down through the generations.

I remember teaching my granddaughters how to do it. The youngest was 5 at the time. She’s now 13. That’s the last time I had a marshmallow.

With Woodstock and Snoopy, who needs any conversation?

Woodstock making the best of it with Snoopy’s burning marshmallow.

LOL! Good thinking Woodstock! You just earned your first badge!

Ha, ha, I remember this one. Clever.

I love the expressions on Woodstock’s and Snoopy’s faces in the last panel.

If life hands you burnt marshmallows, roast another one.

Mmm. Carmalized sugar. Burnt is ok with marshmallows. If you don’t like it pull off the shell.

Poor Snoopy, no lips to use to blow the marshmallow out.

Ahh, nothing like laser blasting your tongue with a hot blob of marshmallow Lava.

Now that is being a good scout, Woodstock. And seeing two classic dialogue free strips from both Schulz AND Watterson makes for a good Sunday.

I used toast ALL mine until they caught fire. Blew them out before they ashed-over. Yummy! Too bad that turned out to be bad for you! (Char.) Nowadays it’s a slow-roast until it’s covered in leopard spots.

Energy efficient

Snoopy, everyone know that a good charred marshmallow is the key to a perfect S’more. That dark outside with that oozy melted marshmallow center, with a square of chocolate bar between two graham cracker halves. That’s the way to do it Snoopy ole pal.

How cute!!!

Don’t feel too bad, Snoopy. Those sticks are probably covered in random animal droppings anyway. Enjoy, Woodstock!

I now know how to roast a marshmellow, a little bird told me…

Now if Snoopy were one of my sisters he’d be thrilled at having that marshmallow turn into a torch. She thinks roasted marshmallow means it has to be flaming charcoal

Woodstock can improvise.

That’s a perfect marshmallow, Snoopy!

Burnt is the only way to eat a marshmallow!

Yes, burnt marshmallows are delicious! Save ’em for Meeeeeeeeee!

The only good marshmallow is a toasted til it’s black marshmallow.

When I was a Girl Scout leader, we adults would joke that we knew the age of a girl simply by looking at her marshmallow. Daisies and Brownies (grades K-3) usually blackened theirs and claimed that they liked them that way. Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors (grades 4-12) had the patience to make theirs golden brown.

BTW for ecological reasons Girl Scouts now use metal skewers and minimize burning wood in other ways. “Leave only footsteps, take only memories.”
