Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 07, 1973

woah. this was cool, first to call him charlie borwn?

It was interesting, when a "serial"of some kind was going on, then we’d get a break from it, on the Sunday(when the strip would not follow the plot), like here-this was over the time Snoopy and Woodstock were “at war,” due to Woodstock claiming Snoopy had broken some of Woodstock’s possessions, at the New Year’s party, that Woodstock hosted.

Only appearance of Poochie, the one who almost bought Snoopy.

Thomas Wolfe should get royalties for how often this quote appears in Peanuts.

Who names a kid “Poochie?”

So SHE’S the reason we now today have about 5 billion TV Specials all ending in “Charlie Brown”!

GOOD GRIEF, Poochie is HUMAN?!

“Thomas Wolfe was wrong. You can go home again. Frequently to remember why you left in the first place.”—R. Ingersoll

Nice bit of retro-writing. First it was Lila being Snoopy’s previous owner, and now Poochie with her early connection, despite being unknown until now.

This Poochie sure looks like Frieda
