Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 30, 2024

He’s a tough coach.

Evidently some coaches were not only crabby, but also grabby.

Yes. Yes, they are.

Last time Snoopy said “Woof!” (from within the putative safety of his doghouse) was when Linus yelled, “HERE COME THE BULLDOZERS!”

You can take that as a yes, PP!

East European coaches are.

Translate please.

“Not all; only most.”

At this time early in the morning I would much prefer “Fruit Loops” better than “Forward Loops”.

[Probably, for legal purposes, a proprietary registered name is located in this comment.]

We are back to the 1977-1978 era today, with a 1977 New Year’s strip tomorrow. And then this arc continues.

“Growl, snarl, snap, growf, bark, woof!”

Must be catching…he got it from Lucy.

It looks like he is always Russian to criticize her.

Forward outside loops. Hard stuff. I can only do the right foot. Insides are much easier. And my coach is much kinder. LOL

Yes, cuz they’re always really cold.

Luck is with Patty he doesn’t coach her in hockey

I think this is the first time Snoopy actually makes dog sounds.

Yes, they are.

Somehow I don’t think he’s helping her with her double axel

Ah, eastern block stereo types from 50 + years ago. Cute ! ;-)

Does that answer your question?

Another arc where Snoopy is just somebody with a big nose to her.

In the second panel, the second, fourth and sixth Snoopy sounds are in italics. In the last panel, the first, third and fifth sounds are in italics. Apparently, it’s not just the sounds, but the emphasis!

it’s the getting up in the middle of the night to freeze watching practice that does it

He had a session with Lucy

Snoopy can be a bear sometimes. “Here’s the ex-Russian skating coach working with his protegee.”

Two days worth of crabby comics. First Lucy, now Snoopy.

Schulz had a free skating rink for kids at his house, but he closed it when parents kept filing phony “damage suits for injuries sustained”,knowing he was loaded

Patty: What do you think of my forward loops?Snoopy (translated): I’ve seen more grace with a malfunctioning robotPatty: Are all skating coaches as crabby as you?Snoopy (translated): WHAT DID YOU JUST [expletive deleted] SAY TO ME, YOU [expletives deleted]?!!?
