General LeMay’s career also encompassed the development of the Strategic Air Command, the Vietnam War, and candidacy for Vice President. On of the most colorful and sometimes controverial Americans of the 20th Century.
<< On Thursday, JusSayin jus’ said: “@Hobbes: I don’t remember seeing Snoopy’s name on the front of the house, say when Schulz showed people approaching the front to do some work in the house, or even when good old Charlie Brown would serve him dinner.” >>Hi JusSayinI’ve posted a reply over at the Peanuts forum this morning, along with several strips from the 1950s.
As a junior Captain, I attended a party in the early sixties that Curtis LeMay attended. He excelled at that game where one person tries to keep a straight face while others attempt to make him laugh, and he was particularly formidable as a laugh-maker.
Barry Goldwater for President (with his VietNam speech) and Curtis LeMay for VP. Lets see if the old coots remember the speech phrase that lost Goldwater the presidential election (among other things). And yes Goldwater was correct about the Viet Nam war. From an old coot.

Calvin’s imagination gets the best of him once again.
Love that ear-to-ear grin of Hobbes. So proud of himself.

At least Calvin wasn’t bombed back to the stone age.

Nice shootin’, Tex – I mean, Hobbes.
And Curtis LeMay … I remember him well. I guess I didn’t really need to be reminded that I’m an old fart.

I’ve spent enough time on the Net to read Calvin’s last line and think, “I see what you did there.”

The hand grenades harmlessly bounce off Calvin’s impenetrable head. Calvin must be Stupendous (Man)!
Puddleglum2 over 12 years ago
Tiger, tiger in the tree,Please don’t throw grenades at me!

If they were playing Calvinball, Hobbes would drop a cone and announce, “Here’s the ‘pitch’!”
Puddleglum2 over 12 years ago
“Bonk” is a bit of hyperbole for a pine cone hit on the head!

Didn’t Gen. LeMay call for bombing North Viet Nam back into the Stone Age?
alviebird over 12 years ago
Yeah, except that his running mate was George Wallace, not B. Goldwater.
