Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 17, 2018

really smooth, Linus

Well, so far it’s better than his ecology report. This one at least has some substance to it.

A quick Google search shows that there is a Gully Cat Tattoo Shop, but I doubt that that is what Linus is thinking about.

And then there are the leopards that live in the clouds, called ‘clouded leopards.’

Seems legit.

Linus is trying to baffle the teacher with BS? I thought that was Sally’s MO.

I think it’s a pretty interesting article, Linus. Good job.

Oh, so a “gully washer” is part of the desert maintenance crew?

Not as prevalent as Linus’ other eccentricities, but the “gully cat” was introduced and showed up occasionally in Peanuts lore, even the movies (or at least one)…

Sounds like the title to a Cat Stevens song.

Yes, by gully!

Let’s hope that teacher is extremely gullyble…

I thought there were gully bulls too…

He has a book titled, “Hedge Toads, Queen Snakes and Gully Cats.”

I remember an arc about Gila Monsters. In fact, at the same time it was published (mid 60s) talk about the dangers of Gila Monsters was current at my school, too. Wild Kingdom or Wonderful World of Disney must have shown a documentary on them.

Man, I had completely forgotten about gully cats until this comic reminded me. I think it might have been 50 years.

Nice try, Linus.

And don’t forget those dreaded Queen Snakes!!!

No, no, NO! It’s PYOOOMAS in the CRAVISSES!

I think Linus might be on to something here . . .
