Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 15, 2024

Puter, huh? For dog food?

Just restart that baby, Charlie Brown. TRS-80 knows what to do.

This is apparently from 1977. There was the Apple II, and yes, the TRS-80, but home computers hadn’t really caught on yet. I wonder if there’s some topical reference that I’m missing.

Your dinner delivery date has been postponed to sometime in January. We’re sorry for the delay.

Being mean to your dog all week will make him run away again.

The computer broke down? IBM or HAL?

Snoopy’s supper was computerized in 1977. Peanuts is way ahead of its time.

If he’d drop the bowl, he could bite him !

Sorry Snoopy. The recipe is on the computer.

This is a real thing today. Not so much in 1977.

Does Charlie get Snoopy’s food at Stop and Shop?

Doubt if a barber’s family would have a computer in 1977 or even 1987.

In the mid 70s, Gene Roddenberry came to speak at my school. He predicted that in ten years, people would have computers in their homes.

I said to myself, “Yeah, like that’s gonna happen!”

Call Big Blue!

Try smacking the top of it a few times.

I think the reason VB isn’t feeding him is because Snoopy is banging on the door and not knocking on the door

It would have been worse if the ice cream/milkshake machine was broken.

What kind of computer would be in a house in 1977?

1977? Was it a Commodore PET? I learned to program in BASIC on one of those, it was really fun…

The strange thing is Snoopy’s paws can hold a briefcase, but not a supper dish.

I’m not sure what that has to do with opening a can or pouring out kibble ;)

They have computers in the Peanuts universe?

“The Broccoli Cheese soup is not up to the chef’s standards”. Told to The Count by the waitress in the VIP Lounge at Hard Rock Casino last Tuesday.

Such bad service at this restaurant. Don’t leave a tip Snoopy

why do you need a computer to fix his food? :\

Is it plugged in?

You need a computer to pour out kibble or open a can of food?
