Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 17, 2023

I think the vapors are better than the winds, cert8anly better than the scoots!

yeah, Snoopy, keep a good two-meter (or however long is the doghouse) distance away from Woodstock

Poor Woodstock

The vapours are a symptom, not an illness. It’s the disconnected, dizzy feeling you get with a low grade fever. I’ve had them; you lean over to pick something up and it feels like your head’s going to fall off. If you walk around it feels like your head is floating three inches above your neck. It’s not pleasant.

That doesn’t sound so bad with this cold.

I take it fanning himself and saying “Oh, my! The vapors!” in a Southern accent is a bridge too far.

Just make sure you two don’t get vaporsized!

VapoRub optional…

You should have thought of that yesterday, before toasting a marshmallow above Woodstock’s head.

A little bit of granny’s medicinal moonshine will fix his vapors.

Far more likely he has Covid. Break out the Paxlovid!

What? You’re not gonna take him to the vet or anything?

If only you only knew the history of one cure for this in the Victorian era you would blush.

Snoopy had better stay a safe distance away, he wouldn’t want to get vaporized.

I prefer the vapours to the sniffles and the hackies. Words.

OH, NO Avian (Bird) flu – anyone remember Bird Flu – NO – well check the history books.

Then you’ll keep each other warm for sure.

I thought the vapors were what comes off of a stinking pile of horse s—-! (But I could be wrong}

It’s the flu.

Went to see the doctor,asked him what to do

Whaddya know?,said the doctor

I really think I’ve got one too

So we lay down,side by side…

I’m still here but doctor died

I got a code in my nose..

Awww! ☹️☹️

I bet he has the gwenders

Take 2 asprids and call me in the mornink

Probably meant vaping hehehe jk jk

Belated realization: so this is why Linus pats birds on the head! He is an aspiring epidemiologist studying the spread of bird flu / covid / vapors etc.

Panel 3 is the best!!! We all could use more of panel 3!!!

If you are Turning Japanese, you might have the Vapors.

Nah, the vapors just smell bad…

I read this storyline once many years ago in an old ‘Peanuts’ book.

You need an old-fashioned thermometer to tell whether he has the mercury vapors.

Woodstock has problems, because now we know that the Vapors was probably rather than a disease was a variety of underlying medical conditions, such as anemia, hormonal imbalances, or psychological disorders.
