Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 08, 2016

Sometimes Snoopy acts more like a cat than a dog. What happened to the unconditional love and loyalty that I know so well from my own and other friends’ dogs?

Only rain soup today.

How does Snoopy not know the name of his owner?

Eventually, but if I remember correctly, it will be at least 25 years before the readers meet her!

My dog knows me as the person who feeds me, so not far from the truth.

My name is “Mom”.

Maybe he’ll bump into Opus searching for HIS mom. That could be an interesting crossover.

Charlie is pretty lucky Snoopy remembers his head and his master status.

Don’t prove Lucy right, Snoopy.

Snoopy’s Mom, who is named Missy, appears in one strip, but it’s part of one of his WWI fantasies. Spike, who is an infantryman in this fantasy is hospitalized with flu, and their mother arrives by troop carrier to visit. One beagle with a fur hat and long eyelashes, surrounded by beagles in sailor caps.Snoopy’s dad, Baxter, appears in a Father’s Day strip, wearing glasses and a big white mustache, receiving a Father’s Day card with 8 signature pawprints.

Snoopy comes from a litter of 8. His siblings:Belle – wears a dress and earbows and has long eyelashesSpike – wears a fedora and mustache, lives in the desertAndy – fuzzy coated, with fuzzy brown earsOlaf – twice as heavy as any of his siblings, wears a hunters capMarbles – brown spotted, including his earsRover – has brown ears and a studded collarMolly – looks like Belle without the earbows Molly & Rover only appearance was in the TV special Snoopy’s Reunion, where the puppies played bluegrass together, Snoopy plays guitar, Rover acoustical guitar, Belle & Spike play fiddles, Andy drums, Marbles banjo, Molly mandolin and Olaf blows a moonshine jug. Missy also appears at the beginning with her puppies.

How soon we forget…

I think this is the first strip where he forgets his name. Ironic how he would forget the name of his own master yet he remembers the names of the rest of the gang.

Snoopy, you don’t know what you got till it’s gone. Turn around and head for home. You’ll be glad you did.

RAIN IS SERIOUS.SUN IS FUN!

MOM?
