Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 17, 2016

Is it relieved dazed or “I’m still in big trouble” dazed?

Yes

maybe MCMXXXVIII might be easier on the eye, an expert on ancient languages, ya say?

The way he talks about the Head Beagle, you would swear he’s some kind of deity.

Looks like it wasn’t a put-on after all.

Additionally – how did the nephew try theoriginal letters on a 4 digits lock?

But wasn’t he had?

I never understood this. In the last strip no one was at the meeting, and in this strip he returns as if he just had his meeting. Is he putting all the others on?

What a greedy uncle.

He said it – this is the way you always look when you return from having appeared before the head beagle. I don’t think it was a statement of fact, but a recital of an obligation.

For those saying the code is fake because of the four C’s, actual Roman nomenclature for the ancient times often used only the additive notation (IIII or CCCC) instead of the subtractive notation (IV or CD), especially in “official” documentation. So, technically, it is correct.

for goodness sake tell us all about it

That’s a big disappointment dazed because he did not get to meet the head beagle.

Schulz, I’m putting you on notice:don’t mess with Snoopy.

I’m disappointed. I was hoping we could see what this Head Beagle looks like.

But then again, If I had nightmares for a week then I would never read this strip again.

Haha.

If Marty is the nephew of both Danger and Hugo, that pretty much means the dead guy is Danger’s brother or brother in law. (Unless perhaps Marty is married, which I think we can all agree is highly unlikely.
