Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 21, 2024

He’s got… cold paws.

He’s got paws for concern.

I’m getting married in the morning! Ding dong!The bells are gonna chime. Pull out the stopper!Let’s have a whopper! But get me to the church on time!

Maybe he’ll get a last meal. Or a blindfold and a cigarette.

Did he have a bachelor party with Woodstock?

Our wedding day wasn’t the happiest day of our lives…the 41 years we’ve had together since then have been pretty good though.

Charlie Brown would never resort to using a shotgun, but others might.

Wasn’t this Snoopy’s idea to begin with? Why does he have ‘cold paws’ now?

Both now facing for the first time

Presently and past

Something that begins with “M”

And ends in “alas”

More than not complete disaster

Even from the start

What could it be?

It’s matrimony

Sounds like Snoopy is having cold paws.

♫ ♪

We got married in a fever

Hotter than a pepper sprout

We’ve been talkin’ ’bout Jackson

Ever since the fire went out

I’m goin’ to Jackson

I’m gonna mess around

Yeah, I’m goin’ to Jackson

Look out Jackson town

Well, go on down to Jackson

Go ahead and wreck your health

Go play your hand you big-talkin’ man, make a big fool of yourself

Yeah, go to Jackson

Go comb your hair

Honey, I’m gonna snowball Jackson

See if I care

♪ ♫

So, it only gets worse from there?

Better yet, think of the wedding night. Right up until she says “Well, I’m glad that’s over” and its all downhill from there.

Never understood why it was a good idea to ignore “wedding jitters”. Probably some bad advice invented by wedding industry marketing.

Oh, no you don’t! You’ve abandoned your post and left Peppermint Patty’s house open to attacks for this girl! You’ve made your bed and now you’ll have to lie in it!

I was expecting Snoopy to get stood up

It will Snoopy. Whether you like it or not!

Our wedding was quick and chaotic. It was put together in 3 days because my MIL was up visiting & she asked if we could get married while she was up instead of December like we originally planned. It was Labor Day weekend. The thing is, I had a nice dress (not a traditional “wedding” dress but definitely one more “me”), veil, flowers, music, photos & video recording (I arranged the music; my husband videoed via remote control), his parents, my parents, my grandmothers, 2 of my brothers, and a handful of our closest friends. All that said, it was lovely and memorable. My ONLY regrets are that his grandparents & my sisters couldn’t be there.

I do not remember this story line. Anxious to see how it ends, but obviously does NOT end in a marriage. NO SPOILERS PLEASE!

So it only goes downhill from there.

Starting off just fine it would seem ….

You get out of marriage what you both put into it.

Dont do it Snoopy!

Run Snoopy run!

If your wedding day continues to be the happiest day of your life, that doesn’t say much for the rest of the marriage!!!

How does Charlie Brown know how almost everyone feels when the day finally comes? I don’t believe there’s ever been a wedding in Peanuts before, and none of the regular characters are married. Miss Othmar did become Mrs Something-Else offstage at one point, and giving the time when the strip was written it’s probably safe to assume that most of the parents are married (though we know that Peppermint Patty’s being raised by a single father) but Chuck has essentially zero experience that would allow him to say that.

Though it’s possible he’s just spouting platitudes to calm Snoopy down.

Once more unto the breach my Beagle friend !

It’s like owning a boat, The happiest days are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.

Fifty-two years next month. Got married at my parents home and their A/C decided the hottest day in the history of the world was a good day to die. Met my in-laws for the first time two hours before the wedding. Good thing. If I’d met them at the first date there wouldn’t have been a second. It was a good thing they lived 700 miles away. I love my wife and don’t understand how such a wonderful person could have come out of such horrible parents.

Don’t worry, Snoopy! Neither can she! She’ll dump you for a golden retriever.

A sudden attack of cold paws and good sense.

Snoopy got cold paws

If I had known then what I know about my jerk of an ex husband I would have never married him, Had almost 23 years of a happy marriage, or so I thought, then he up and leaves me without any warning ( 3 weeks before our 23rd anniversary) and then within 3 weeks of him leaving I receive the divorce papers, turns out that I married Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde and he has shown his true colors in the 4 years since he left me.

So long Spike. Glad you ran off with my future wife. Save me the trouble of going through the motions.

okay,we’ll go to the vet instead….
