Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 27, 2023

go inside and hide under the pool table Snoopy!

Sleep with one eye open… Gripping your pillow tight…

Around my neighborhood I believe cats are nocturnal and do most of their prowling and caterwauling at night! That is because I can hear their meowing and hissing in the wee hours of the morning! Be afraid, be very afraid, Snoopy.

“I could stand on the corner watch the traffic lights change. Boy am I having fun

The green lights just come on

Nothing to do about much"

(Gilbert O’ Sullivan)

Gripping your pillow tight

Sleep with one eye open, reminds me of Sandman by Metallica.

That explains Target’s dog, Bullseye

Swifts and some other birds actually do this, in a way. They hunt, eat, sleep and even mate on the wing. Apparently half of the brain sleeps while the other is awake and working.

Geese sleep with one eye open

Remember Snoopy … you instigated this one. As my mom used to say: "You made your bed …. "

Sheep should.

His eye with a ring around it reminds me of Pete the Dog from the old Our Gang/Little Rascals comedy shorts.

I could never sleep with one eye open.

Trivia fact of the day: Dolphins do not sleep entirely. At least one half of their brain is awake at all times. When they rest, they sort of shut down an engine and cruise.

Snoopy looks like a railroad crossing signal in panels 2 – 4! :D

Snoopy should just keep both eyes closed, but both ears open. Even with both eyes open, the cat might come from behind, but hearing is more omnidirectional.

More like railway crossing alternating red lights, no?

Looks like the dog from the Target commercials…

Dang! My typing skills are so bad, SharkNose beat me to it! Oh well!

Or turn signal.

He looks like a railroad crossing; beware of cars trying to beat the trains. It never ends well

Why don’t you make like one too and just stop.

Whales have to surface to breath, so sleeping as land animals do can be dangerous for them. So, when they sleep, half their brain is awake and half asleep. The sleeping half awakens, and the awake half goes to sleep. In addition to allowing them to breath safely, it also allows them to be alert to hazards.

Snoopy, that’s because your switching eyes too rapidly.

feels like Snoopy’s gonna have twenty winks tonight instead of forty

Even TOUGH cats sleep 15 hours a day

And just like a STOP sign, they probably didn’t even see you

Go in the house with Charlie Brown. He shouldn’t leave you out there anyway.

Joe cool is losing his cool.

close the eyes Snoop, the nose knows, cat’s have a distinct odor to dogs…

Ask a bear to stay with you, Snoopy. No one will hurt you. We are peaceful and good comrades, just occasionally have a sheep for breakfast. We don‘t eat cats, but they don‘t know that.

Never seen a stop sign like that. You mean a railroad crossing sign?
