Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 29, 2024

Fun Fact – The first ever patented skateboard was created in 1925: it was called the Kne-Koster.

The vertical and horizontal components of two-dimensional motion are independent of each other because any motion in one direction does not affect motion in the other direction. (WWW so it must be true)

Amazing Snoop. That would impress at the Xgames.

I forgot Joe Skateboard!

Until Tony Hawk

Presenting Snoopy…the skateboard artist in all of us!

Go Joe!

Joe Cool on a skateboard.

Don’t try to imitate panel #2 at home, everybody!

And when Snoopy crashes without knee pads, he’ll be Joe Knee-less Crasher.

Cool, Joe. Cool.

He needs his shades.

Snoopy could put Tony Hawk to shame.

Impressive, but how good is he at Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater for PS1?

Good thing there was a random bar in your path Snoopy.

You got this Snoopy!

Snoopy could win a gold medal in skateboard hurdles if it were an Olympic event.

Look out, Snoop! You’re a half -second from a wheel breakage!!

Beat that, Tony Hawk.

Not bad at all….

Nicely done, Snoopy!

How did he do that? Relative to the skateboard, wouldn’t that have been pure vertical jump from a standing start?

Just in time for the Olympics

oh nice! ;+)

Showoff.

Heck yeah!

This strip ran in 1977. I’m trying to remember when skateboarding became a thing. It was around in the sixties when I was a kid. It was often called “sidewalk surfing” and mirrored the surfing craze back then. But they basically only had steel roller skate wheels so you were pretty limited in speed, maneuvering, etc. Urethane wheels with ball bearings came along in the 70s and it really took off as a sport.

Ollie oops.

Great job Snoopy glad you got rid of Molly volley

Taught Marty McFly everything he knows
