Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 19, 2020

Snoopy is referring to “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord” (Malachi 4:5, KJV).

He already came, during the times of the Lord.

Even in the days when this strip was first printed, I couldn’t imagine a kid sitting and watching golf. One of the sports that may be fun to do, but makes snoozeworthy TV. Sundays were like that back then, all the oddball sports were televised: golf, fishing, bowling etc.

I feel like some news reports get interpreted like this lately. Or maybe all of them.

The end is nigh… wait, I’’m imagining things…

Charlie Brown: What are you all doing up there?

Linus: Haven’t you heard, Charlie Brown? There’s no tomorrow!"

Charlie Brown [shrugs]: Welcome to my world.

Well, evidently golf is a more consequential activity than I would have thought.

Chicken Sally?

As one who’s lived through the age of home “bomb shelters” and learning in school how to “duck & cover” … I’m singularly unimpressed by another doomsday prediction (including the latest cow fart controversy).

This is definitely one of my favorites.

There will be no tomorrow if we don’t get the COVID-19 vaccine in trials approved and ready before 2020 ends (same for the hope movie theatre chains declare bankruptcy and permantly out of business if the 2020 movies planned like Tenet, Mulan, New Mutants, Wonder Woman 1984, Soul, and Black Widow get pushed to the end of 2020 and/or into 2021 since the NYC and Los Angeles movie theatres haven’t officially reopened yet since March 2020 when the stay at home orders were launched to stop COVID-19!)

There is no tomorrow, because tomorrow never comes.

Golf, the most torturous sport to watch or play.

The world can’t end tomorrow, because it’s already tomorrow in Australia.

I hate the whole quietness of competitive golf. Want to show skills? Get the crowd from a garden variety MLB game in the stands and allow them to heckle. Same with tennis. It’s hitting a ball— same with baseball.

Yesterday;s Sally Brown…. today’s predatory media….

It’s okay, Sally. Put your faith in Jesus and you’ll be saved and safe!

Tomorrow has been cancelled due to lack of interest. This covid crap has got everybody down in the dumps.

This is mentioned in the index of the recent hardcover book series as one of the few instances of “adults talking” in the strip.

I’ll leave this one alone. I feel bad for Sally. Though in the end panel, Snoopy has a point.

No tomorrow? Luckily, it’s a Monday.

“I thought Elijah was to come first.”

That was funny if you were into Biblical prophecy. During these days they are waiting for the return of either John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, or King David. And I think it would be the return of Genghis Khan.

Yes, Snoopy, things have changed dramatically even television programming when there was nothing on the tube except golf. Thanks to modern science.

This is not unlike the 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast.

“It’s do or die now, folks.”

“It’s do or DIE?!”

But is the sky falling?

For the young people, substitute “Internet Site” for “TV” and you have the same result.

The power of MSM over the morons of the world.

Snoopy’s doghouse has the safest rooftop.

Don’t be silly, the world doesn’t end until August 5th, and that’s weeks away yet. There’ll be a tomorrow, and a tomorrow after that, but there’ll be no August 6th.

One of my all-time favorites…

Nobody else notice that the flag is planted in a sand trap?

How many people today understand the last panel?

Life would be so dull without ‘em good ol’ alarmists!

The world will end at midnight! (12:30 in Newfoundland)

Yup, there’s no tomorrow. The country clubs are taking over.

They missed The Rapture.

back in the 50’s tomorrow never came. I waited and waited and am still waiting for tomorrow. talk about the making of a procrastinator!

The sky is falling!!!

Putt Putt golf tournaments.

Along with Enoch or Moses maybe, snoopy?

Snoopy’s den seems to be the safest place to survive.

I adore watching golf. My High School self would throttle me if she knew….

Didn’t realize Snoopy was Jewish.
