Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 18, 2023

She never listens

So she didn’t learn anything from being fooled into going to a dog school…

Patty is about to get the peppermint knocked out of her!

Now that’s a BIG mistake.

If some bratty little freak said that she was going to pound my dog, I’d tell her that she would have to go through me first. It’s galling that CB would just stand there and let it happen. Of course, if she tangles with the evil cat next door she will get what is coming to her.

I had forgotten this part!

All these years, and I missed that the cat had a name (or nickname).

No wonder it always beats Snoopy. He’s a World War I dog.

Patty is hopeless.

Sit, Patty! Stay!

What a coincidence, we’re at the beginning of World War III

The cat next door is named World War II? Now I know why Snoopy’s pretending to be a World War I flying ace!

This should be interesting.

I’s beginning to have my doubts about her.

She’s about to come down with a severe case of cat scratch fever.

I didn’t think Peppermint Patty knew Snoopy was a dog.I thought she just saw him as a funny looking kid with a big nose…

thank goodness for the distraction from the real world that we get from Peanuts. I really am looking forward to her tangling with the cat.

Today I learned the name of the stupid cat next door; and that he’s pretty big (since he looks like a dog in a cat suit.

Dose not listen.

This took a turn.

I never knew the name of the cat next door! Makes perfect sense.

Why is Peppermint Patty such an idiot?

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

She should check the basement. Snoopy might be hiding under the pool table.

she’s either gonna do Snoopy a huge favor or that cat is gonna do the same for Snoopy… guess he’s gonna get something out of it either way. :/

Aw, come on! Forget basic common sense! This girl was born with no sense at all!!

PP is about to learn a lesson she won’t forget, this will qualify her for a masters in catology.

EVERYONE else ALWAYS starts the fight with the cat next door.

So long, PP, been good to know ya!

No wonder we’ve never actually seen the cat. No mere pet can live up to such a name.

You can tell Peppermint Patty, you just can’t tell her much.

I didn’t know the cat had a name

According to Peanuts Wiki, this is the first strip where Schutz gave the cat the name “World War II” >

As we’ve noticed, lil Patty doesn’t listen and heed anyone else’s warnings or instructions. Oh, well, at least a good tear with the cat from you-know-where should be interesting.

I never knew the “stupid cat next door” had a name . A weird one however.

I’m wondering how PP can stand on the top edge of Snoopy’s home…. then run across it. I’d think she’d have to straddle it and her feet would be at downward angles.

World war 2?

Go for it, Patty!

Uh oh!

Can’t wait to see this one tomorrow.

Never knew that was the name of the cat next door!

World War II has a kitten named Apocalypse Now

If the people running her obedience school learns she’s fighting with cats, they may want her diploma back.

Peppermint is a star athlete, so it’ll probably be a draw.

I never knew the cat’s name until now.

One mangled obedience school graduate coming up.

P.P. has a death wish.

This will not end well…

Is that really the cat’s name?! You learn something new every day.

“WELL” ……. This should be very interesting …….. ;)

too much drama

Oh I remember this, would have loved to have seen the fight between her and WWII

As someone else asked earlier, is this arc over yet?

SHE’s about to get it!

After all these years, I didn’t know the cat’s name. :-D

It’s time to Rumble!

My money is on the cat.

Peppermint Party’s cognitive dissonance is at its peak here.

So, when Snoopy plays ball, he is a “funny looking kid with a big nose” for Peppermint Patty, but now she knows he is a dog?

Holy crap…it’s name is World War 2!!!?
