The first time we see him on his hind legs! And one of the first times he has thought balloons.

First dance on his hind legs, first extensive thought bubbles, first sign that the doghouse is more than it appears… this is a real prototype for the way the strip will become!

@HarryNJ: It IS a russian dance: Moussorgsky’s gopak or hopak from ”The Fair at Sorochintsky”. Snoopy dances to the same music 1953/03/15 and gets a better reward this time.

Not only the first appearance of Snoopy’s doghouse, but that it’s more than ordinary, though the idea wouldn’t be developed further for a while yet.
