Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 08, 2014

poor blighter…

Take hope, young WWI soldiers! There are Blighter Days Ahead!

Peanuts has always been a favorite with me, and Snoopy my favorite cartoon character, but this particular one rises to a truly great level!

By the way, my favorite cartoon series of all time is also here on this site, in the rerunning of Calvin and Hobbes. Keep up the good work, gocomics.com!!!

Watch your step.

I think you can spray for Blighters if they get into the house

Watch were you are going, Snoopy!

Now we know what a “blighter” is….it’s seems to be something that lives in a trench.

What kind of blighters need a pilot light?

Considering how long they had to stay in those trenches, they actually took time to burrow underground and set up dormitories.

The Germans were smarter than the British and French. Once the war stalemated, they strategically withdrew to the higher ground. Their trenches were drier and more comfortable than those of the Entente.

I wonder what the German equivalent of “blighter” is?

For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Chuck him out, the brute!”But it’s “Saviour of ’is country” when the guns begin to shoot;An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please;An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool — you bet that Tommy sees!

@Number ThreeI’m surprised you haven’t put in a plug for your favorite Blackadder series, with the poor blighters in the trenches! (My favorite was always the one with the poor blighters at the court of Elizabeth I……….)

Shot down again by the evil Red Baron.
