Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 22, 2023

Peppermint Patty thinks Moby Dick is a hockey player.

How about Brown Sally?

So formal Sally, just call him Ishmael!

Close enough, Sally.

There was another joke about Moby Richard, and it wasn’t from Peanuts.

or Roger Mobley (Gallegher)

Wonder if they’re listening to Moby Grape they’re in the right era

Trivia: The singer called “Moby” is related to author Herman Melville….hence the name.

Will she be doing a report on Grape Moby for music class?

I wonder if she will have Sargent Ahab next?

Maybe Sally in panel one just copied his name from the phone book. For younger people who don’t know, the phone book printed names surname first. For example our artist would have been listed as Schulz Charles.

The first grade here has some challenging reading assignments.

A lot of comment censors won’t let you use anything but “Richard”!

Richard Moby was a bad asp monstrous white whale who ruled the seas making him a white supremacist.

mopey dick

You could try writing a report on Dick Tracy.

It’s “Moby Dick”, Sally.

I almost missed the joke because I read the cartoon bubble as Moby Dick. ;-)

Sally forth as only you can, Sally!

There she blows !

charlie brown is assuming his sister is writing a report about a book that is well beyond her grade.

Richard Melville is the real name of the performer known a ‘moby’

Well, “Richard Moby” should get past the GoComics censor-bots… even after their next change of the “rules”.

Sally, sadly not every class is creative writing

Your next margory?

This one’s going to be Moby Oops.

Moby Grape?

Is it me or does “Richard moby” sound British?

It certainly is wrong, but how does one make a mistake like that?

Publishers have been forced to change the name of the classic work to Moby Jane

Is the author Mel Herman?

Gallant effort, Sally!

" to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee." one of my favorite quotes in a ll of literature.

Talking whale spy: “The name’s Dick. Mobey Dick”

Ishmael is name my.

Sally is much too young to sail into “Moby Dick.” Maybe there was a children’s book about a Mopey Dick? Or Moody Dick?

Sally doesn’t know Dick from Moby.

Perhaps ‘Mr.’ Moby? No, that sounds fishy too. (sorry)

She seems a little young to be reading that.

Led Zeppelin had a song about Moby Dick. Not to be listened to in polite company.

MOBY DIck—-as Rodney King said—-“Can’t we all just get along?”

I think I’ll just Moby along to the next comic.

Moby Dick!

Fortunately, good handwriting counts. :)

Still as funny as when it first appeared in the ‘real’ newspaper — LOLOL
