Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 28, 2023

Do you know why the Pink Panther walks in such a strange way? It actually steps on an insect with ever step. You can identify it by the tracks if you look close, because they go “dead-ant, dead-ant, dead-ant dead-ant dead-ant dead-ant dead-aaaant”.

Is this the first time the Pink Panther gets referenced by Snoopy on Peanuts?

But do you know? First panel had me confused because I didn’t notice Charlie was reading a letter and naturally thought he meant Sally who doesn’t have a son.

So, who looks like Jacques Clouseau and did he get a “roum”?

It’s so funny how I just watched the pink panther movie, the one with Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau

What is a registered beagle?

And cue up the Henry Mancini music…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp6z3s1Gig0

This is marks a rare instance of a pop culture reference in the Peanuts world.

A dog can not be registered (AKC) unless both his parents are registered too.

It looks like Sis got friendly with a Great Dane.

Now I hear Henry Mancini’s The Pink Panther Theme. Now, I’ll have to find it and play it to get it outta my head.

“My sister’s son is a disappointment” —REALLY? You’re saying that? REALLY?

Wow, Snoopy, way to judge the kid based on his looks. Come back when you’ve found a teenage boy who doesn’t look awkward and uncomfortable.

Now I have to go watch a Pink Panther movie. One with Peter Sellers, of course.

I suspect there is a commentary here on the first of the post war generation being taller as nutrition improved greatly in that period.

Sellers wasn’t exactly a popular fellow on the set.He was a screaming astrology buff and if “the signs were bad” he wouldn’tbother to show up on the set.

He must be a coonhound! They are basically beagles if a beagle really stretched it’s legs.

I loved the Pink Panther cartoons.

More like an Albino Panther.

I’m guessing he won’t go on to become this comic’s Scrappy Doo

Might be a problem with the lack of pigmentation in a pink panther…

Neighbor and I used to do a combination of stickball and improvisational comedy with both Snoopy and the Pink Panther on our team, along with Bugs Bunny, Bronson (as in Then Came …), and the Road Runner (who was always walked).

Mainly, because of his height.

He actually looks a lot like Spike, but much taller of course.
