Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 02, 1972
Transcript:
Charlie Brown sits in a chair and reads a book. Sally sits in front of him. Charlie Brown reads, "Hundreds of pirates swarmed aboard the ship."<BR><BR> Charlie Brown continues, "The cabin boy was wounded so he played possum."<BR><BR> Charlie Brown stops reading and says, "When a person pretends that he's dead, we call it 'Playing possum.'"<BR><BR> Sally asks, "What do the possums call it?"<BR><BR>
I wonder if this is the same pirate ship that appeared on the horizon in Snoopy’s novel.
