Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 19, 2021

I don’t think not even a distressed finish, Snoopy.

Snoopy; The grammar police have the day off.

At least he appreciates the music.

At least Snoopy isn’t Tab-Dancing on your piano. It’s all “Soft-Paw Pads”.

The only thing getting distressed around here is a certain dog named Snoopy. Get it?

At least he isn’t wearing taps, Schroeder!

Shabby chic?

Then you sell it as a priceless antique. I saw that on “Lovejoy”.

Snoopy is just enjoying your musical stylings.

How do you dance like that to Beethoven?

How can anybody be distressed when Snoopy is doing his happy dance!

I’m not at all sure that in 1974 I would have gotten this reference.

I think Schroeder is getting distressed ;)

ooo…I like the distressed-wood look…

He ain’t nothin’ but å hound dog

I wonder if Schroeder knows any Boogie Woogie? Now THAT you can dance to.

I hope Snoopy doesn’t find out that his cousin, Schrodinger, has a Cat.

I remember the Charlie Brown and Snoopy show version of this. Since Snoopy can’t think-talk in animated adaptations, I think he just left after Schroeder’s comment. If there had ever been an appropriate “voice” for Snoopy’s thoughts, I wonder if animating that last panel would have been funnier.

Really surprised that was a thing when that comic was first published. We recently decide to re-furnish our place and almost everywhere we went the furniture had one of two things: either the farmhouse look (white and worn out) or distressed which also included worm holes in the wood. Furniture makers surely love it because they can use any kind of wood and if the finished product isn’t perfect – oh well!

Dis-tressed?

Schroeder’s new piano has tresses?

Play dancing piano Charlie Brown theme music here.

Could increase the value.

At least Snoopy is less annoying than Lucy.
