Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 27, 2024

Snoopy-copter?

The rescue team is arriving

Hold on to your hair, Linus!

Unbelievable…

Well, it sure ain’t the Red Baron…..

Sally delivers!

Oh brother

wouldn’t the fire department have been easier?

For people scratching their heads wondering why a helicopter is supposed to be a funny punchline today, keep in mind that this was intended to be a television animated story line, and in the animation we could hear the sound of a helicopter approaching even tho it isn’t visible yet.

“A Charlie Brown Celebration” (1982)

Kind of doesn’t work so well when we can’t hear any sound.

Would you rather stay on the roof, Linus?

If that strip was published today it would be a drone.

When Sally said she was gonna get help, she meant it.

Some school districts have all the perks.

Looks like Sally followed through! Although I was skeptical!

Something made Linus’ hair stand straight up!

I remember reading this storyline when it first printed. This is my favorite. I love that Schultz is working with some different perspectives and distances. This school-trip series has unique set pieces and feels more three dimensional with characters at different distances from the viewer.

The anticipation is truly electric.

I have a feeling that the WWI vet has something to do with this helicopter.

Couldn’t she have just leaned a ladder against the barn, instead of talking him to death?

I remember that sometime in the 1980’s that this was part of an animated special. Either I forgot the ending then, or for some reason my parents changed channels for some reason. Outside of the holiday trilogy, it was often a challenge to see all the ‘Peanuts’ specials when they aired. I will just wait and see how it ends here.

Who needs a Chinook C-47 when you have a Snoopycopter around?

Snoopy to therescue

Snoopy is playing this whole thing by ear
