They forgot the sunglasses and sweatshirt cool guy

Apparently he was also a WWI army surgeon.

“That’s what I was wondering, Snoopy as the Ace and doing a happy dance I get, but I don’t remember any surgeon. It would have made more sense to have lawyer instead, a la Snoopy’s vulture phase.”

It’s ALL Snoopy. I don’t have a specific memory of Snoopy being a world-famous surgeon, but it’s entirely in character and from the context it wouldn’t make sense for it to be a reference to anybody else. And of course Adolf IS doing a lawyer, in the last panel (but he needs the hat).

“Joe Cool” would have been nearly as iconic as the World War I Flying Ace, but I don’t think a vulture woud have worked well (for reasons it would take too much space to explain).

Thanks for the great link. Almost forgot to come back here and finish reading my comics!

Didn’t Snoopy use to dance with the bunnies? Instead of chasing them!

OH THAT’S A “KEEPER”! EXCELLENT JOB, GUYS! EXCELLENT!

And I love Adolf in the second panel! He looks so cute!

I agree with comicnut4636, this is a great link. Thanks.

I don’t know why, but my link to the “Many Lives of Snoopy” page was removed.Snoopy first appeared as a WWI Army surgeon on November 24, 1966.
