Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 16, 2022

I laughed so hard I choked.

Who else, Lucy? Certainly not Snoopy an dSpike’s other brothers Andy & Olaf.

Watch bird with Louisville Slugger, he should feel safer already!

Snoopy was never much of a watch dog.

i would want that pic of Woodstock on a t-shirt! on a mug! on a doormat! on everything!

The Brown house is well protected now

Woodstock angrily holding a bat may be one of my faviorite images i’ve seen in a peanuts strip. And there are many like Snoopy’s Awkward Teenage Nephew, Vulture Snoopy, or Sackhead Charlie Brown, but this one has just joined them.

I can’t help thinking that Lucy really isn’t as unqualifiedly horrible as so many people on GoComics think she is. There are more strips of her behaving in a perfectly decent manner than there are of her being nasty, that’s for sure. As today’s strip shows, Lucy and Charlie Brown’s relationship is ultimately one of good friendship. Certainly, you can’t compare Lucy to truly evil cartoon characters such as Jerry Mouse or Chip ‘n’ Dale ;-)

The bat is too heavy.

Many people and cultures use birds such as Guineafowls, ducks & geese, and peacocks as guard animals. Anybody approaching a house, day or night, will set off a loud and terrible racket by those birds.

Unbeknownst to Woodstock, mean little Johnny down the street just got a Red Rider BB gun …

I didn’t know Woodstock was the original Angry Bird.

And now the Yellow Canaries step up to bat, and ladies and gentlemen by the looks of it they mean business! (I know there are Cardinals and Jays and Oriole baseball teams, but is there a team named the Yellow Canaries?)

So CB now has a watch bird!

Is that bat made of balsa wood?

Woodstock with his wood stick.

Annnd I just found my new avatar!

Woodstock should be a good watch bird.

for some reason, I feel afraid… :\

Speak softly and carry a big stick…

Honestly, he’ll probably do a better job.

Watchbird.

How about Guard Duck?

Woodstock, the terror to the knees of burglars everywhere.

“A Jose Canseco bat? Oh, tell me you didn’t pay money for that.”

I know I’m supposed to be scared, but that guardian bird is cute :-)

I’d feel safer.

Wait a dang minute…if he can swing a bat then why isn’t on the baseball team? Wait for it… He can play short stop!

Don’t forget to feed the watchbird.He likes turkey.

Woodstock on watch…

Woodstock will probably make a very capable watch bird. With the occasional upside down flight he would be the perfect drone for keeping an eye on Charlie’s abode. Though Charles will need to get used to the chirping alarm, not the yelping of Snoopy.

THAT’S what I need!!! A guard bird!

I bet the cat next door won’t cause any trouble while Woodstock is on watch.

That looks like a bird with an attitude!

Cheaper than ADT.

Woodstock is stronger than I thought!

Woodstock is batting 300, so beware!

Furrowed bird brows are very intimidating. (But not for the the cat next door.)

Might be safer with Woodstock on guard duty.

The reserves……

4th panel is awesome!

That’s so cute! It’s outrageous!

I wouldn’t mess with Woodstock.

Thank goodness it’s not you!!!!

Love the mean look on Woodstock, ready to chip in the dog’s shoes.

Snoopy’s not a watchdog
