Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 14, 2013

“It was a dark and stormy day… "

Diggory Venn was red, not blue.

But daddy was a dull boy who left us cold so we vented on the coconuts and when thus rendered twain by our anger we dubded each other in our test of wills and some they were Concords and others possessed a more particular…. uhmmmmm “Idiom Sir?” YES Right Idiom… in my own particular idiom. Funny when Galahad makes the point.

Snoopy, tell him! You can’t go home again!

Nothing yet. This is still early ‘60s, I believe, so Woodstock hasn’t happened.

Now Woodstock will be blue?

That is indeed proto-Woodstock. Wikipedia even mentions this specific strip as the actual formal genesis of the character:.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock_%28Peanuts%29

Wonder what happened to his sibling?

Back to the mothership!

This strip is from ‘66 and Woodstock (the event) wouldn’t happen for years yet. This is very much pre-“Woodstock.”

How many dumb bunnies out there keep INSISTING that this is Woodstock? THESE CARTOONS ARE PRE-WOODSTOCK!!!!! WOODSTOCK DOES N O T EXIST IN THIS TIME-FRAME. GET OVER YOURSELVES!!!!! OH, YES…..WOODSTOCK W I L L B E Y E L L O W !!!!!!!!!!!!

Awwwwww… How sweet.

Looks like someone has done his exercises!

According to the Wikipedia article, Woodstock first appeared in the strip on April 4, 1967 and gradually became Snoopy’s sidekick. So, it really wasn’t all that long after today’s strip (1966). He (initially she) wasn’t given the name Woodstock until June 1970.

looks like the birdie was tired huh? so he came to rest on Snoopy’s nose, eh???!!!!!

I thought the bird used to be yellow
