Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 19, 2022

I have a very vivid memory of the gag in the next strip

That’s very thoughtful of you, Lucy!

Lucy’s insult went over your head, Snoopy. Bite her the next time you see her.

Built like a brick (out/dog) house

“Wile E. Coyote, Certified Genius” …

For you, Snoopy, I’m going to borrow a line from “Kelly’s Heroes”: “Always with the negative waves!”

Now that’s a brick doghouse!

As Snoopy demonstrates, talking yourself out of worry is not easy.

That’s a very clever trick, Lucy.

Lucy has a good idea, there. I did something similar to help hide my opening to my basement. My house is brick, so I painted the plywood door red to match the brick, and then added white lines to simulate the mortar. And, of course, the ’bricks" follow the same pattern as the house that surrounds the plywood door. It has fooled many an onlooker.

Lucy just did something kind and helpful

If the wolf comes around, “introduce” him to World War II.

it’s not the wolves you have to worry about with a high IQ, it’s the coyotes. the ‘super geniuse’s though they mainly stay in the desert

dissing wolves is a bad thing – their pragmatism and useful IQ probably exceeds most humans

Watch out Snoopy! She has enough air to blow your house down to!

Hopefully it will be Carl.

Snoopy thinks too much.

Well thanks for trying, anyway, Lucy.

Lucy did something nice?I need the smelling salts.

That’s always the problem; somebody smarter.

Don’t worry. Wolves with high IQs like that are probably playing chess

And don’t be fooled by a cross dressing wolf trying to pass as you grandmother. Their snouts are completely different.

You might have to escape to your Cold War shelter under the dog house.

Yeah, but what about werewolves, huh? You didn’t think about the werewolves, didya?

How can Joe Cool be such a worry wort?

Lucy being nice to Snoopy? Ok, what is she after?

Pretty clever, Lucy!
