Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 27, 2022

Sorry, went over my head, someone explain please…

Make a left through, Albuquerque first.

Report that roadrunner to your coyote friends but don’t try to catch it yourself.

Needless to say.

go Sox!

Looks like Spike has also never been to Boston in the fall.

Along came Dave Loggins, or better still, The Standells.

He just wrote he is need – less, that he doesnot need anything. Why is he sad then ?

Anyone else now mentally humming Hoyt Anton’s “Never Been to Spain”?

Spike is wicked smart.

Nope; no desire to go back east to Boston… Just keep waiting for someone going out west to Needles….

Personally, I’d rather hitch a ride to Hollywood.

The song was written by the late great Hoyt Axton whose mother Mae wrote Heartbreak Hotel.

I see Spike has not yet lost the weight he put on while staying at the Van Pelts.

Poor spike!

Beagles apparently have a very poor sense of direction.Needles,California apparently once had a military base.

The late comedian Jack Carter on his stretch there—-

“You would come out of a cold shower drenched in perspiration.I took my Army entrance exam stark naked,Three officers reviewing me sat behind their desks,also stark naked.I mean,it was HOT!”

I have trouble understanding why anyone would go to Needles on purpose. (sorry, er, residents of Needles… what Do you call yourselves?)

Look out for a coyote or an Acme product.

Nobody makes an un-necessary detour to Needles.

Pins?

Petaluma? ☺

The reason why Schulz refers to Needles, California, is because his family lived there for a couple of years when he was growing up:

Looks like Spike is already in Arizona, so it’s a little late to change his destination. But if he’s made up his mind to go to Boston, he had better move to the other side of the road.

I made the detour to Needles when I drove cross-country years ago. The only reason was to purchase a couple postcards and send them to my siblings postmarked at the Needles PO. I scribbled “Spike says hi!” on the postcards.

At least someone could drop him off a canteen of water

Please come to Boston, the driver will say no.
