Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 15, 2024

These beagles with broken hearts (Hank Williams (almost))

A very specialized doctoring is needed a heart knee doctor.

How would you know, Lucy?

Snoopy makes my tail bone hurt when he sits on the roof ridge like that.

That last line always cracks me up. Not sure why it’s so funny to me, but it is.

“My heart was broken on a dark and stormy night.”

Snoop is very knee-dy.

Write what you know. And if you don’t know anything, grift.

Snoop;y and I are in the same boat. I have a heart for a dancer that is no more, but no knees for dancing. But his knees must not be so bad if he can still climb to the top of his house and play sports, too.

Some people never get over a broken heart, and it’s sad, you think of her everyday but will never see her again, very sad.

Lucy should know, since Schroeder will never love her back.

Snoopy remembers a certain French Poodle

Lucy is so full of something, but it’s not compassion.

Unfortunately, so do I.

Maybe Snoopy knows about broken hearts from observing Charlie Brown. He COULD write that book.

I have bad knees too, Snoopy.

I can think of younger days when living for my life

Was everything a puppy could want to do

I could never see tomorrow

I was never told about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?

How can you stop the rain from falling down?

Tell me, how can you stop the sun from shining?

What makes the world go ’round?

How can you mend a this broken dog? Yeah

How can a loser ever win?

Somebody please help me mend my broken heart

And let me live again, la-la, la-la, la

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees

And misty memories of days gone by

But we could never see tomorrow

Would you believe that no one, no one ever told us about the sorrow?

So how can you mend a broken heart? And mine is

How can you stop the rain from falling down? Lucy

How can you stop that old sun from shining?

What makes the world go ’round? And sometime I have to say, yeah, say

La-la-la, la-la-la, uh-huh, yeah

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, tell me

Help me mend my, my broken heart

I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna live again, Lucy,

How can you mend this broken dog? Yeah, somebody tell me

How can a loser ever win? ’Cause, Lucy

Help me mend my, this old broken heart

I think I, I believe I

I feel like I got to, I feel like I wanna live again

How can you mend, ah, this broken heart? Somebody please tell me

How can you stop the rain from falling down? I know my fur is all wet, tell me

How can you mend my, please help me mend my broken heart

I think I, I believe I, I’ve got a feeling that I want to live and live and live

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la

La

I suspect that having his litter broken up one at a time by the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm carried some heartbreak with it. He occasionally sees Spike, hardly ever sees his other siblings, and I don’t believe he’s ever once been reunited with his mother. (Though in the Peanuts world, lack of parental involvement isn’t that unusual.)

How would you know Lu-cy?!

Lucy how do you know Snoopy does not have a broken heart

Sir Barry Gibb will not be asking you how to mend a broken heart, Snoopy.

“Sometimes, when diarrhea (diary heat?) hits, exhaustion sets in with buckled knees to your leaking heart crack… It is a hard throne without firm grounding…”
