When I was a kid in the early 80’s I had several paperback-novel-size Peanuts compilation books. I would read them over and over constantly. Since the “Home Run Record” thread started back in August we’ve come into a run of strips that were in those books. I remember each one so well that I could almost finish it from memory just by looking at the first panel.

This puppy has a rich antonyms vocab. No wonder he is candid but melancholic writer.

Dear Mr. Schulz. THAT is actually the perfect ending. Just look at the look on Snoopy’s face, breaking the fourth wall.

There is a missing panel here. Before “And so our hero’s life ended….” there should be a panel that says “The last car drove away. It began to rain”.

Don’t worry, Snoopy, you have two more oppositions to go before you match Dickens, and his are all at the beginning!

What’s the opposite of “writer’s block”?

Me, I’d say end it there, those opposites in apposition, followed by “It was a dark and stormy night.”
