Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 22, 2024

That’s my excuse at well!

Some funny strips coming up!

Recharging Snoopy. Also poor Peppermint Patty, alone again.

Solar hibernation!

Snoopy was ahead of his time.

Why does she know Snoopy is a dog when she needs a watchdog but when he’s wearing a glove and playing shortstop, he’s a funny lookin’ kid?

One of the longest story arcs is here.

Not only would Snoopy make a good watchdog, but he would even be a super good hearing dog.

Snoopy can hear the telephone call even though he must be 100s of yards away outside of the room.

I guess he has emptied that can of shaving cream.

Peppermint Patty can’t be more than 10 years old. And her father leaves her alone at night for a long stretch of time. I know it’s just a comic strip and this is just a device to move this story arc but it’s rotten. I never would have left my 10 year old daughter alone overnight

I thought this happened already, unless she asked him twice in the 70s.

Snoopy used to be portrayed as a normal quadrupedal dog in the first few years of the strip, but as time went on, he was retooled into the dog we know today.

Once he’s got it stored, he’ll be good all night!

The wind turbine helicopter ears are pretty cool, too.

Starting the arc where after Snoopy becomes a watchdog for Peppermint Patty but runs off with a girl dog and they get engaged.

Great name for a Solar panel company, Solar Puppy.

My dog is not solar powered, but he is capable of photosynthesis. I came this conclusion by observing three things: fur, food and poop.

I have a good measure of each. I vacuum up at least a dog’s worth of fur every day. I feed him and I know he doesn’t eat a dog’s worth of food every day and as my maintenance in the backyard reveals, he poops out a good portion of that. Even if all the food went into the production of fur, there is still a large excess mass of fur that needs explaining.

The only way to explain how the extra mass of fur comes about is through photosynthesis.

If I can figure out a way to monetize dog fur, I’ll be rich.

Snoopy…a dog ahead of his time.

He’s put away the shaving cream after the incident with the cat next door.

“solar energy”! great concept Snoopy

As stupid as she is, and her parents leave her alone ? Remember, she chose to go to obedience school, among other things.

Peppermint Patty’s father is seriously neglectful of his “rare gem”!

Charging and Recharging is very important.

Snoopy being a watchdog? This I gotta see!

Solr energy was just becoming a thing in ’77

I am with Snoopy why does Patty need him

Storing solar energy? Snoopy is Kryptonian?

And so begins one of my favorite Peanuts story arcs!

Solar energy? Snoopy is Kryptonian? Have Snoopy and Krypto ever been seen together?

He’s storing up static electricity to give her such a shock.

You can do that on Patty’s porch. She gets lonely when her dad isn’t there.

You think she would have learned her lesson last time. If I were you, Charlie, I’d ask for a deposit.
