Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 13, 2022

wow

Maybe Woodstock is pranking Snoopy back ?

Fun fact: Woodstock got his name, and his “haircut”, from a strip where Snoopy was surprised to come across a “hippie bird”.

Caution: Watch out for jokes.

Nero Wolfe says most “pranks” or practical jokes are veiled hostility flexing its muscles.

I’ve heard of sleepwalking. But now there is nestwalking?

Bad dog.

Nice Snoopy … you just gave easy access to Woodstock’s nest to the ‘cat next door’ …

It would have been better of Snoopy had put the nest on his pool table.

I despise “practical jokes”. There’s nothing funny about some of the mean-spirited ones.

Lesson learned.

Woodstock must really miss his mother, doesn’t he?

Good for you Snoopy. I wish Garfield could do the same.

When I was a child in early 70s, Heard my grandmother scream from the bathroom, my father taped a sign in the shower that read Smile Your on Candid Camera. I thought it was hilarious, Mother and Grandmother didnt….

Poor little bird..

It is nice to have Snoopy as the interpreter today.

Practical jokes are disrespectful to the personal who is the target of one.

That’s one you keep to yourself……

Well, that’s a total flop as a Valentine’s gift…

At least Snoopy developed more maturity than a bunch of youtubers who came up with the most inappropriate “practical jokes” for content… and still got rich doing it. _

That was crazy.

What’s that proverb? “If you find a turtle on a fence post you can be pretty sure he didn’t get up there by himself.”

Oh, Snoopy, let’s hope so!

22 years ago the strip ended with the death of it’s creator. Thanks, Sparky, for the best comic strip of all time!

Learned the same lesson, the hard way. In the process of surveying an old mill building for some renovation work we, knowing we had a new guy starting on Monday, were looking for an initiation prank. Found an old mannequin, female of course, and a wig and clothes amongst the clutter. Half buried her a ways out an old, claustrophobic, dead end tunnel. Come Monday we sent the newbie out there with an weak flashlight to “see where it went”. He came back moments later covered it dust, white as a sheet and screaming. Once he calmed down all had a “good” laugh and we replaced “Annie” for the work crews to find later. They had a laugh and, in turn, replaced her for the building super to find. Turned out he was a Vietnam vet with what we now know as PTSD. Annie went to the dumpster and we all learned a lesson about “fun”.

One of the saddest Peanuts ever…?

“Peanuts” was a very deep strip. So many of the stories were very bleak and sad.
