Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 31, 2022

“Well come over baby, we got chicken in the barn whose barn what barn my barn” (Jerry Lee Lewis)

would you rather sleep on wooden planks, Snoops?

Be old, with a bad back. Get back to me…

If there’s a spreading chestnut tree anywhere near that anvil, maybe they’ll find edible truffles after all.

My dads old hay barn had wooden Pegs holding the beams together.

Isn’t that romantic!

At least it’s not being dropped on him, like in some cartoons.

Time to cue in for some background music — the Anvil Chorus, from Il Trovatore.

Check and see if Wile E. is under it.

Anvil you stop complaining now, Snoopy? :D

It sure looked comfortable.

Is that the same for the old style Mail Pouch Chewing Tobacco barns?

Let’s hide behind the chainsaws.

I’d forgotten Truffles-but in linus she has someone who appreciates her special place.

Just kiss the girl Linus, then you can say you tasted a Truffle today and it was not a total loss.

Good thing this is a slice of life strip. Otherwise, that anvil would be used for other things.

It’s even less comfortable if it falls on your head. Just ask Daffy Duck!

Oh wow ! I want an anvil like that ! I can’t believe the crazy money they go for !

This from a dog who lies on the roof of his dog house. At least the anvil is wider.

Snoopy putting a little steel in his spine.

He prefers a bed of nails

Frame five: Cue the Anvil Chorus…

Dunno. My cat would sleep on it.

Well, what did you expect? It’s not near as pointy as your dog house…

Interesting…I’ve been reading Peanuts since the Dark Ages and don’t remember the character, Truffle. Every other character, yes. But, not Truffle. Something new has been injected into my Peanuts experience. Didn’t think it was possible.

I am finding the artwork and the story very worthwhile and entertaining! The barn is great, I think I can hear John Sebastian singing, “ you and me and rain on the roof “Thanks!

Try having an anvil dropped on your head, Snoopy, and see if that’s uncomfortable.

When you’re young,there are a lot of old things you’ve never seen before.

Really old barns were built “Lincoln Logs” style

Linus and I would be great companions. I would notice that beam too and be mesmerized by it, considering it’s construction.

would in this crazy world name their daughter Truffles? Why? Just why? 6/10

Cross-over cartoon with Looney Toons? Isn’t that the Acme warehouse?

Old places like that are popular with my cousins, see here:https://www.dmitrykokh.com/polar-bears

Here in Germany lots of old houses in half-timber construction can be seen, just logs and pegs being used, no nails at all. Many are still in use, they last forever. Often the interior is being completely renewed so that you get real nice rooms.

Rainy, probably a bit cool already without the rain (judging by Linus’ jacket), and you’re in an old barn laying on an iron or steel anvil. No wonder you’re uncomfortable, Snoopy.

Strike while the iron is hot.

That kid is like creepy little girl on Scary Gary.

It sure isn’t Snoopy’s doghouse.

Is that a coyote underneath that anvil?

It’s crushing Wile E Cyotye.
