Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 22, 2012

“Fight like a man”? Oh, c’mon!

Before the Ali shuffle, there was the Snoopy shuffle.

The seldom seen “Random, Generic Kid” makes his appearance in panels 1 and 2.

That’s “5”, not a random kid.

Oh yeah, the zip code kid – 555 95472.

I didn’t think that fight would actually continue. Beagle vs Big Mouth.

you mean fight like a dog.

A male dog can be a ‘man’ though not a human.

I think that’s coming…“AAUGH!! HE KISSED ME!! I NEED IODINE!” etc.

Snoopy Balboa?

This Stand Your Ground thing is getting out of hand

i have that on my ipod

snoopy

This is new. Take her down, Snoopy!

Snoopy’ll win for sure

i like the way he makes himself look taller.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a be…agle.

I’ve always thought the most “random” kids Schulz created were the twin girls dancing near Schroeder’s piano during the play rehearsal in “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” I remember as a kid wondering who they were because I’d never seen them before (and I devoured Peanuts paperback books). Shermy and 5? Not so much random as recurrent, like Franklin and Roy were later.

Always thought the “Hold still and fight like a man” was funny, cause when your fighting you fight to win, there isn’t any rules.

Unless its a sporting fight like boxing or wrestling but in random fights, no rules.

bob and weave Snoop, bob and weave!

Go on, Snoopy!

LOL xxx

I remember this series. It’s the battle of the titans. Neither giving or receiving quarter, Until…

People who “stand still and fight like a man” usually end up being told to “lie still” and are frequently “bleeding like a pig.” Boxing has always been about “stick and move” – stick yur punch and move out of the way of the other guy’s punch.

I remember that in elementary school fight Fight & the crowd would gather round fast

Float like a butterfly, sting like a beagle.

FIGHT!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!! GO SNOOPY GO!!!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!! WIN!!!!! GO FOR THE GOLD!!!!!!!!

Why don’t they just hug, kiss, and make up? <3

I can still see this scene in one of CB’s TV shows or movie..Swing!Slurp!Swing!Slurp!

That’s Lucy code for, “Stand still so I can knock you out.”
