Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 09, 2024

Let him keep going. The class is already asleep.

Don’t worry Sally everyone is just curious about the strange bird and the teacher is sad he’s not the kind of pilot she was looking for.

Twitter!

It’s hard to make something that flies stay gone.

He’s not finished, Sally.

Is Woodstock male or female? Sounds a lot like my sister-in-law.

In case anyone’s interested, the original strip is on February 11, 1977

The bird is the word. Many, many words. Haven’t you heard?

I wonder if Google Translator can handle that speech…

Far more interesting is today, February 9, is the birthday of true American Hero Charles “Chief” Anderson, self taught pilot who was the Chief Flight Instructor of the Tuskegee Airmen, fought with them in Italy and went on to fly combat aircraft in Korea and Viet Nam. Retired after an incredible 30 year career. Well worth a Google search.

What did she expect?

Any idea what he said?

Singing (chirping) your own praises.

Give him an inch…

He will not be denied the chance to finish his story, Sally!

Excruciatingly bad comic.

Definitely need that long hook to pull Woodstock off stage

It must have been quite the harrowing flight!

I just realized something…if Snoopy can understand everything that Woodstock says, why doesn’t he translate what Woodstock is saying and then type out the results?

Woodstock clearly knew his or her lines.

never interrupt the set-up ;+)

for his hobby Woodstock must be a “drone” pilot, droning on and on as he does.

Sally has met her match.

I have always felt he was male.

If this is his idea of “a few words,” it’s no wonder he’s hardly ever allowed an open-ended speech bubble.

You tell ’em, Woodstock!

I thought the other kids where going to laugh at Sally’s claim that a bird piloted a helicopter. Maybe they will when she says the helicopter was a flying beagle.

You will let Woodstock finish!

Actually, I think Woodstock was ahead of his times. He’s communicating in binary with zeros being the gaps. The bird goes digital! ;-p

Snoopy’s the one who did all the work, though!

Woodstock’s beak runneth over.

Woodstock will NOT be flipped off, by Sally or anyone else!

I’m sure the class understands every word.

He rarely gets a chance to speak to a crowd of his fans.

Play him off stage, like awards shows.
