Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 30, 2023

Oh Patty, really?

That’s not obedience training, that’s agility.

The people watching: what a very strange dog there.

My city is full of special “academies” that purport to teach lots of different things: tailoring, art, languages, study skills, even creative writing (as in “become a writer.”) Many of them are small operations run by a couple of people. They are often not in a great hurry to pass you through the stages, since as long as you attend they can take your money every month. This obedience school reminds me of them.

She hasn’t caught on yet? wow.

I’m surprised that somebody at the school hasn’t explained to Patty how this is supposed to work.

I wonder what the homework is like…does she get to eat it? :D

She really IS just stupid.

No fog on earth is as dense as PP is!

Why is one of the hurdles marked “2” and “3”?

Yeah, it’s almost as if this is a school for pets.

Well, after watching today’s strip, Patty’s understanding all makes sense. I think.

Gotta say this has gone on a bit longer than planned

I ran obstacle courses in the Army and later as a police officer. It’s a good way to keep in shape.

Peppermint Patty should be comforted to know that the “other pupils” of this school don’t understand her, either.

This story really doesn’t reflect well on anybody in the Peanuts-verse.

Will She get a treat for going first.

Sigh

No question – she’s going to graduate summacum bowwow.

Luckily she is athletically gifted

Thought the reality would have kicked in by now, but we are talking about Patty. I wonder if anyone will come to her graduation.

The hurdles are no problem. It’s the peeing on the fire hydrant that’s the challenge

Did their ages happen to throw you off as well, or did you just think that the older ones were constantly held back?

This is getting pathetic

Sandals cannot be ran in.

I’m surprised someone at the school hasn’t pointed out the obvious to Patty… but that’s capitalism, anything for a buck

She cant be that dense

This is surreal humor worthy of a Warner Bro. cartoon.

If there is a class component on Shock Collars, grab all the dogs and get out of there!

Hope there are no fire hydrants around and she has to go like the other “students”.

She’ll be the best behaved child in her neighborhood, which is more than I could say for the rest of you!

Well,the athletic portion of the school will prove no problem for the strip’s star athlete.
