Charles Schultz suffered from life long self hatred , caused by bullies. This self destuction kept him from doing what he really wanted to do. Sell the dailies to the syndicate . Created a sunday only strip title Snoopy and Woodstock and Pals. In the 70s so he could create specials inculding "Why are they’re no holidays in August Charlie Brown? ". .
Snoopy did a lot of fetching over the years, sometimes cheerfully but more often reluctantly. Tennis balls have “fur”, thus the dreaded “tennis ball mouth.” In one early sequence, Snoopy was fetching soap bubbles! (This later gave him a different bad taste in his mouth.) One other arc had Snoopy refusing to fetch for Linus over the course of several days. Then he did, which gave Linus a bit of a shock………
When my cousin’s dog, Jasper was a puppy (I was about 10 years old at the time) I would play ‘catch’ with him using a tennis ball and it was covered in slobber everytime I got it from him so I had to keep washing my hands.R.I.P Jasper.xxx
@Snoopy_FanHiya Snoopy_Fan. I hope you are well and I’m glad you enjoyed The Beatles album… twice! There are some classic songs on there. -As you know, I gave blood on Tuesday. It went very well. I took 4 minutes, 24 seconds to donate so did not beat my record of 4 minutes, 8 seconds from last time. I was so busy chatting to the kind nurse and my Mum who came with me that I almost didn’t have time to say “Linda, this is for you” but I did say it in a whisper.-I always feel so great about myself after each donation. I’m sure you know that feeling because you used to be a blood donor. I hope you get the chance to donate again very soon. Tell me when you do so I can root for you!-My arm is a little bruised because the needle hurt a little. This was my 9th blood donation. On my next one, I’ll get a ‘Bronze’ award which is a badge and certificate as it’ll be my 10th donation. I made my first donation on 13th January, 2012. I was 17 then. Are you proud of me? -Anyway, I won’t bore you any longer as I’m sure you’ll want to get on with other stuff.-May you have a blessed weekend. I will be thinking about you!With Love,Annelise xxx

This comic premiered on my birthday, all the way back in 1967.

Snoopy is too nice sometimes.

Why tennis ball mouth? From catching tennis balls? Why not baseball mouth or softball mouth?

Somehow I don’t see Snoopy playing fetch. In a later strip, when Rerun wanted him to fetch a stick, Snoopy threw the stick off a cliff.

Pongo likes to make the ball muddy and wet, and I suspect it its to get the tennis ball taste off of the ball

Nice of Snoopy to pretend he’s a dog for an afternoon.
