This is undoubtedly one of the funniest strips that Schulz ever drew, and it is certainly one of my absolute favourites. Snoopy’s comment in the final panel is priceless.

Little kids are so literal, and often unintentionally hilarious! Just don’t let them realize you’re amused!

Now, if Sally paid attention in school instead of griping about it, she’d know the meaning of the word “idiom”.

1973 for me has had some of the funniest strips by far. This one in particular is certainly up there
