Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 21, 2023

you life is on paws for a while Snoopy…

or if a wheel chair, Snoopy, you’d be running people over therewith

Snoopy tries to hit someone, can’t support himself and falls down.

If you already knew how Snoopy hurt his paw Linus. Why did you ask ?

“Stewardesses”

The cat next door has already uploaded the video.

It’s going to be the tale of the tell all tall tale toe. And everyone will hear of it before Snoopy.

The last time I tripped over anything I landed on my hands, tearing virtually every muscle and tendon in my fingers. In order for Snoopy to have messed up his left foot (left rear paw) he would’ve had to have flown in the air and landed on his left foot, only. And all the time while rescuing three stewardesses, of course.

Do you mean the people who know the truth, Snoopy?

Then why’d you ask?

Stewardesses on runaway horses?

It would be worse to see three airline pilots on runaway horses, see. The way I see it, if the pilot can’t control his horse he’s riding, how is he going to control a jumbo jet?

then why did you ask?

He tripped over his dish trying to save …

It’s a good thing he can’t talk. Otherwise, Linus would be calling him out on the load of bull he’s talking about.

I am so glad that Mr Schulz chose the word Supper.

About 5.5 years ago, Snoopy had lunch with three stewardesses after a successful real estate speculation. https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/2017/08/07

I guess that the memory of that lunch resurfaced while he’s under pain killers, and took an absurd form.

LOL! Snoopy will get revenge!

when I tore the cartilage in my knee while tieing my shoe, I had thought up some great stories by the time I hobbled to the car. But there were witnesses so I had to wait for another day to be a hero. but 40 years later with a softball size knee from arthritis, would you like to hear how I got that? thought you’d never ask………….

I hear the voice of actor Edward G. Robinson doing Snoopy’s dialogue in panel two.

… so I blocked the horses’ way, stopped them and shushed them and started to help the stewardesses down. They were crazy with fear and were so grateful to me, they would even have given me an upgrade to first class. Only then, one of the horses broke lose again and started to gallop away. It was nearly gone when it slipped and, struggling to keep its balance, his right hind leg came to step on my left paw – and I can tell you it was a huge horse!

Big Foot alias Snoopy…

An imagination is a wonderful thing, up to a point.

Can I autograph your bandage?

Lucy told didn’t she? Sure Linus could have heard about it from Charlie Brown, but Lucy is more likely to have gone home and immediately say “That stupid beagle of Charlie Brown’s broke his stupid leg on his stupid supper dish.”

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

ChatGPT completion of Snoopy’s story: "Well, there were three airline stewardesses, see, and they were on runaway horses, see, and I had to save them. Without thinking twice, I ran to my truck, but as I was climbing into the driver’s seat, I slipped and twisted my ankle.

Despite the pain, I knew I had to act quickly. I hobbled over to my horse and mounted it, gritting my teeth as I pushed through the discomfort. I spurred my horse into action and raced towards the stewardesses and their runaway horses.

As I got closer, I realized that one of the horses was heading straight for a rocky outcropping. I knew I had to act fast, so I swung my lasso and managed to catch the horse just in time. But as I pulled on the rope to slow the horse down, my injured foot gave out, and I fell to the ground.

The stewardesses quickly came to my aid, helping me up and supporting me as we walked back to my truck. Despite my injury, I was glad to have been able to save them from danger."

Unfortunately, for you Snoopy, your crutches will be taller than you!

Way to rain on Snoopy’s parade, Linus.
