Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 23, 2023

So much for that dog dressed in a cat’s suit, huh Patty?

Snoopy with the correct answer!

I agree with Snoopy, at least you walked away!

You win some, lose some It’s all the same to me (Motörhead)

It’s a cat eat dog world.

Snoopy looks a little like his brother Andy in the last panel.

They don’t look too bad, hair and fur still there, clothes mostly intact, ,made it off pretty well.

They made it out alive!

Snoopy’s answers is correct bet world war two hasn’t got a whisker out of place !

It took me 47 years to learn the “Cat next door” had a name. To be fair, when my family moved all those years ago we switched from daily (I used to read the comics with my breakfast before school, now I’m reading them online with my tea before school) to Sunday delivery of the paper, so I would have missed this revelation anyway.

You never win against a cat!

I think Peppermint Patty lost. She lost her open toed sandals! Which is a rare moment since P.P. is rarely seen without wearing her sandals!

They definitely lost. Good job, World War II!

…That feels weird to say.

I’d say it was a hollow victory.

I think I’ll name my next cat “World War II”… that won’t be for a long while though. ;-)

Screaming funny

that means both in my house hold. :]

Nobody wins a war. One side just manages to lose it to a lesser extent.

I concur…

I don’t know, let’s see the cat ;)

Now PP, do you remember what the fight was about?

I wonder what the cat looks like?

The 4the panel is brilliantly drawn.

Yeek, they look roughed up!

Snoopy and Peppermint Patty are lucky. During and after World War II far too many men and women did NOT come home.

It’s a Draw

Someone once said, there are no winners or losers in a war, just survivors. Perhaps this strip is a parody on that concept. Its interesting that the cat is called WWII. In that war, the US was the clear winner, having survived without being attacked on its mainland. But, at what cost? Our graves the world over mark our cost. War is a very bad thing. Much to be avoided.

PP is still the competitor, the way I see it, WWII ….. 1, PP & Snoopy 0

I thought that was a “gully cat”.

They lived. That was “victory!”

Sparky was making a comment here about war…everyone loses something.

“Any crash landing you can walk away from wasn’t so bad.”

If Pig-Pen were to see Peppermint Patty now, he’d be in Heaven.

They look like winners to me, unlike house republicans

They won!

So little girls and dogs also need to know their limitations.

Like most wars… no winners

The first rule in fighting with a cat is: “don’t”.

I think it is a draw.

Patty and the funny looking kid with the big nose held their own.

Looks like PP is missing her flip-flops, tho.

It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s whether you can walk away under your own power.

Now she’s too beat up to beat on Snoopy.

Yes and no! You won the fight, but the cat next door is also a sore loser.

A true Pyrrhic victory.

Don’t expect any wrestling promotions to offer you two contracts.
