Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 28, 2017

Religion is the smile on a dog.

“Food comes first, then comes morality”(Bertolt Brecht)

Had to look it up. 1 Samuel 8 deal with Israel getting a King. Is Snoopy the King and the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm Israel?

And I have to ask. Why would you start off a speech to dogs talking about religion? Their entire existence has been blissfully free of it. And they’re still happy. Wait… Is there a correlation there?

Snoopy is a lefty?

1 Samuel 8 is a rather interesting choice for a Biblical quote.

The point is, is that everyone is trying to give Snoopy “advice” on his speech. Yesterday, it was Lucy with her women’s lib suggestion; today, it is Linus and his theological approach. Snoopy isn’t interested in their suggestions. He can write a good speech all by himself. :-)

“Give is this day our daily bread…”

I don’t know if this makes me a bad person but I get really annoyed when people (kindly) offer me advice on what I should do even though my mind is made up.

They think they are helping but they’re not. Sorry.

So I’m with Snoopy on this one.

“Dear Lord,

Good Food, Good Meat,

Good Gosh,

Let’s Eat!

Amen."

1 Samuel 8 is an interesting choice…

A full supper dish = My cup overfloweth. (23rd Psalm).

Reaches for Bible Hm, that chapter’s about Samuel warning the Israelites not to ask for a king, because he’ll take all their stuff… Not sure how that relates… But if I recall, Schulz’s other references have been accurate.
