Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 17, 2021

I will bet your compose points the way you should walk. Say hi to Santa when you get there.

never really got his orienteering merit badge

When in trouble

When in doubt

Run in circles

Scream and shout!

You aren’t so much lost as misplaced Snoopy!

The problem of following a compass is that it only spins around in a circle! When it stops spinning it doesn’t move and stays in one place! Get a move on you stubborn mule!

Where is Woodstock when you need him?

Thank goodness the handbook didn’t say “follow your heart”! :D

too bad your compass doesn’t have legs or it would have already.

Yeah, you’re gonna die, Snoopy. I’m looking forward to Spike taking over as Charlie’s new dog.

A compass doesn’t move!

Not exactly what the handbook meant, Snoopy…

That’s not what they meant, Snoopy.

You know how you have to compensate for a compass’s declination? Well this compass is declining.

Given that we have self-driving cars and such now, Snoopy’s request isn’t quite as outlandish in 2021 as it was in 1974.

That sounds more like a ‘Brewster’ thing….

It’s a good thing nobody told Snoop that the Earth’s magnetic poles are shifting…

The handbook needs to provide a bit more info.

Snoopy may have to resort to catching something to eat!

“Run in circles, then scatter!” as the compass stated.

I expect the last panel from Odie or Patrick Star.

I learned how to navigate via landmarks when I was very young and my brother and cousin ditched me in the woods…

Stop at the nearest tavern and quaff a root beer. You will meet a charming lass who will show you the way to go home.

Yes the unalive compass is going to show you where to go

‘When in doubt, Master Meriadoc, always follow your nose’. Snoopy’s is big enough too

Stupid compass.

My parents and brothers left me behind on a hike once when I was young. They each thought I was with the other group. I couldn’t figure out which was the correct trail. Luckily, my elementary taught us what to do when lost in the mountains. As I recall there were two methods. 1) Follow a stream. If you keep going downhill you will eventually reach civilization. 2) Stay put and signal for help. I stayed at the top of the mountain and screamed my lungs out. They realized their mistake when they reached the trailhead and I wasn’t with either group. About an hour later, I was gratefully rescued.

This scout is a dork.

I used to think North was always straight up because that’s how it is on maps. Even now that I’m older I have the directional sense of Ducky MoMo. My family doesn’t know how I am still alive and have legal drivers licence.

Said one teenager to another – “what is a compass?”

His compas must be defective.
