Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 26, 2016

and, yet, life goes on

He’s not people, Charlie Brown (although later on, he’ll think he is!).

That’s not “silly”.

The first time Snoopy danced like no one was watching!

Interesting. I didn’t think he danced before he started walking upright.

This is the middle section of William Butler Yeats’ poem “Long Legged Fly.” Like Snoopy, Helen of Troy does a little dance when she thinks no one is watching.……………………………….That the topless towers be burntAnd men recall that face,Move most gently if move you mustIn this lonely place.She thinks, part woman, three parts a child,That nobody looks; her feetPractise a tinker shufflePicked up on a street.Like a long-legged fly upon the streamHer mind moves upon silence.

The prelude to his “Happy Dance” in the future.

Amen.

Is that a musical note exiting from the aft end in the first frame?

Uh, says Charlie Brown, Mr. Wishy Washy himself

Maybe Snoopy is considering a run for the presidency…

And so Snoopy, embarrassed, dropped to the ground and scuttled away, and the world would have to wait many long years before the secret of anti-gravity could eventually be found, if ever.

Like the time I went chasing fireflies in my backyard and turned on all the neighbours’ motion lights. That ended it real quick.
