Schulz could easily taken the cover illustration for “Happiness is a Warm Puppy” from frame 2 of this strip, yet chose to show Lucy cuddling with Snoopy instead; which strikes me as odd given that Snoopy’s relationship with Lucy was never particularly friendly; but his relationship with Violet was. Indeed, through much of the 1950’s, Violet was Snoopy’s favorite human; while Lucy constantly feuded with Snoopy from the 1960s onward.
