Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 17, 2011

Wow, one of the few instances where he speaks out loud.

Snerk

That was a good album by Styx.

I like Snoopy as a vulture better, especially sitting on Lucy’s head looking menacing.

hehe, panel three could have been “Snoopy want a cracker!”

Wow, Snoopy ACTUALLY talked!

Then you are missing one great classic rock group. The Grand Illusion was their best album though.

“Can you do a Penguin?”

“Yes..he even makes a good Penguin!”

Just be yourself, Snoopy.

LOL xxx

dogs are better than parrots

I had to know what “Pieces of Eight” referred to since i can’t see a Styx Shultz connection. From Annotations to The Complete Peanuts: 1963 – 1964 (vol. 7) by Charles M. Schulz "(December 19, 1964) 2nd panel. Parrots do indeed make a squawking sound, and some can be taught to “talk.” One parrot cliché is that they are the companions of pirates. In Robert Louis Stevenson’s (1850 – 1894) 1883 novel Treasure Island, Long John Silver’s parrot squawks “Pieces of eight,” a reference to the Spanish currency during the heyday of pirates (17th and 18th centuries) that was worth eight reales. "

I like Snoopy’s smile in the last panel.

Thanks for the PSA tip, PsychoDad! I’m right there with ya!
