Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 19, 2023

Woodstock looks very comfy!

Woodstock looks like he’s up to something.

Woodstock has Jacoby and Myers on speed dial!

He’s got teeth again.

Just great, Linus. giving Woodstock ideas.

Woodstock be like: “He don’t know me vewwy well, do he?”

Didn’t realize having the vapors could be contagious! I wonder if the Covid 19 facial mask is strong enough to prevent vapors from passing through it?

I think you better consult a lawyer.

So Snoopy might need a lawyer, perhaps Lucy will convert her psychiatric stand to a law for hire stand to accomodate him. Anyhow, if Snoopy gets sued it will probably be Chuck who gets nailed with the consequences as he is Snoopy’s guardian and a “born loser” to boot!

One would hope Snoopy’s malpractice insurance is paid up.

Guess again, Snoopy!

America, the land of the lawsuit lottery!! And before you bring up good Samaritan laws, you can still be sued and wind up having to pay for a lawyer to defend yourself if you are not a frontline worker.

Wasn’t Snoopy a world famous attorney? He could defend himself.

If anyone would deserve it…

He would get your doghouse and all the furnishings; you be left with his nest.

cue the ominous music

Don’t count your birds before they fly, Snoopy. Woodstock appears to be on the verge of a breakthrough.

“Because of caregiver neglect, my vapors turned into thropsy and St. Vitus’ dance, and attorney Dewey Cheatem got me $50 and a case of bird seed!”

It looks like Woodstock, with dollar signs in his head, will sue whether he’s sick or well. He could claim brain damage. Let’s see Snoopy prove the reverse.

Et tu Woodstock?

Today? Absolutely, he would. #victimsociety

This is “Merica” of course Woodstock would sue.

That grin says it all‼️☺️☺️☺️

Ooh, Woodstock knows how to get easy money.

This sure is taking a long time to recover.

Woodstock is definitely that friend who would punch Snoopy for $100.

He’s Legal Beagle, the world famous defense lawyer.

Woodstock’s never been happier, he’s got the vapors and he’s feeling litigious!

A friend indeed….

Woodstock has been eyeing that Andrew Wyeth that Snoopy has.

How many bags of birdseed will it cost to settle, Woodstock?

How would Woodstock afford all the legal fees?

Is Woodstock turning Japanese?

Linus is a pessimist.

Woodstocks lawyer is a mocking bird.

I don’t like the look of that grin in the last panel.

Woostocks’ sheepish smile gives a different clue, Snoopy.

Dial all 9’s!

In archaic usage, the vapours (or vapors) is a mental, psychical, or physical state, such as hysteria, mania, clinical depression, bipolar disorder, lightheadedness, fainting, flush, withdrawal syndrome, mood swings, or PMS in which a sufferer loses mental focus. Ascribed primarily to women and thought to be caused by internal emanations (vapours) from the womb, it was related to the concept of female hysteria. The word “vapours” was subsequently used to describe a depressed or hysterical nervous condition.

Over 4000 years of history, this condition was considered from two perspectives: scientific and demonological. It was treated with herbs, sex or sexual abstinence, punished and purified with fire for its association with sorcery and finally, clinically studied as a disease and treated with innovative therapies. However, even at the end of 19th century, scientific innovation had still not reached some places, where the only known therapies were those proposed by Galen. The evolution of these diseases seems to be a factor linked with social “westernization”, and examining under what conditions the symptoms first became common in different societies became a priority for recent studies over risk factor.

Beware of a bird named “Sue”.

WOODSTOCK! How could you?

Birds have teeth?
