Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 22, 2019

How did Snoopy even find where it used to be if the area changed so much to warrant a 6-story parking garage?

Back to migrating, Snoopy.

is it possible, Snoopy, you might be in the wrong place and DHPF is the next town or two over?

His puppy farm is gone, all his memories. or The paved puppy farm and put up a parking lot.

Thomas Wolfe was right : you can’t go home again.

How far did they walk from yesterday’s strip? They went under a barbed wire fence and a meadow to such a built up area in a day? I call Snoop-nanigans!

“Don’t it always seem to go…”

They paved over paradise…

I came down in the comments section to write something, but the best lines are already taken!

Yup, just like my parents’ trip down memory lane. They spoke of people we’d never met, and waved their arms talking about stuff no longer there, while we waited for something to make sense. I realise now, fifty years on, that I never met half their relations. We heard them spoken of but never met them.

Another victim of “progress”.

This is the plot (In a very different format) to the TV special “Snoopy’s Reunion”…https://peanuts.fandom.com/wiki/Snoopy%27s_Reunion

They shut down the puppy mill.

I remember seeing this in Snoopy’s Reunion. However, Charlie Brown and all of Snoopy’s siblings went with him and it was a bus driver (a visible and speaking adult bus driver, mind you) that informed them of the farm’s fate.

Are they in England? The arrow on the street seems to indiacate that people drive on the left there.

From the time shopping centers and enclosed shopping malls were booming…

I have never seen Snoopy so mad…

Does “puppy farm” mean “puppy mill?” If so, good riddance!

should have kept going south.

While I didn’t take it quite so badly, I remember a certain amount of angst when I saw that my grandfather’s old house had been demolished and a tennis court built in its place. Still, granddaddy would’ve been glad they at least made a place where people could better themselves there.

My house that I grew up in is still there, but my room over the front porch is gone. I LOVED my room! (“In My Room” by the Beachboys playing softly in the background.) My folks had a little vacation cottage in a sleepy little community on the water back then, too. It’s gone, replaced by condos.

Yes – sometimes it’s better not to go looking for your past like this: my childhood home (a small hobby farm) is now surrounded by tract houses (when it was all fields and woods, way, way out in the country)… even the apple orchard we had is lost to someone’s back yard. But, such is the way of the world… :-|

Such is life.

I knew this yesterday but I didn’t want to spoil it for the young folks.

sometimes change is good – like baby diapers, oil in your car, and underwear. BUT most change, no matter how minor, can be stressful.

so the thoughts go round in my head while I frown ’bout the way things have changed and the way it was then. but was it really that way and nothing held sway or do I simply remember some faded impressions of how I wanted it to be?

In the real world, such a bucolic setting would be condos or housing. At the very worst, an industrial park.

I totally sympathize with Snoopy. Two of my former homes have been replaced by parking lots.

Could be worse. In Great Britain, they parked for years right on top of a King.

Isn’t it a bit odd how in the last panel they’re standing on a grassy surface!? (Although the colourist did their best to ignore it)

I wonder if Daisy Hill shut down after the riot that broke out a couple of years before this strip while Snoopy was there to give a speech.

Next thing you know, they’re gonna tear down his doghouse for a new freeway.

Puppy Farm? Hope they were happy ones!

That is terrible! Poor Snoopy!

Didn’t know the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm was in Florida.

I felt the same when I saw my childhood house razed and converted to plains in a defence colony.

Back to Ohio- The Pretenders

You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone,They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

This is the actual day I joined.
