Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 20, 2022

heating pad?

As I mentioned yesterday, as a child I read this comic and asked my mom what it meant. To tell the truth, I don’t remember what she told me, and I still don’t quite understand.

The SPANISH version of this Peanuts strip ends with Snoopy thinking:

“Eso es verdaderamente desmortivador.”

or

“That is truly disheartening.”

- Which makes a bit more sense to me – er – kinda-sorta.

It was a dark and stormy night…

I would assume that it means that he associates “heating pad” with comfort. With the fake bricks washed off, his fear of the Big Bad Wolf is back, and so he is no longer comfortable.

It’s just a phrase that signals annoyance. Like saying, “That really grinds my beans” or “Wouldn’t that chap your hide” or “That makes me want to kick puppies.” Doesn’t really MEAN anything but that the person is annoyed.

Leave it to Lucy to use delible ink!

The one slight drawback.

So this explains it! For years I always wondered why my heating pad becomes unplugged every time it rains so hard that the roof shingle lines are washed away??

Snoopy’s world is a Paper Moon sailing over a cardboard sea …

Next time, use sharpie. Or electric tape?

So much for Lucy’s idea (if you didn’t see yesterday’s “Peanuts”, you should see it)!

There goes the brick doghouse in the rain.

♪♫ “Snoopy’s bricks are melting in the rain, and I don’t think that I can take it…” ♫♪

We had a doberman who sat on the doghouse like Snoopy. Never did go inside of it. Of course the cats liked to sit with her too.

I’m hoping the rain today will wash my car off.

wolf is nearby saying to himself:

“Say…those weren’t real bricks at all………”

Next, the weeds will grow in

I love that the rain literally knocked off the lines Lucy drew.

The one I thought of is “Wouldn’t that make your brown eyes blue?”

If you don’t know what “unplug your heating pad” means,look it up in your Funk And Wagnall’s.

Next time, use a Sharpie.

you should have had Line-us draw them Snoopy!
