Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 13, 2017

Telling him they’d be home by Christmas might send them into more hysterics

Christmas of which year?

Linus is quite the method actor

Snoops, you’re kind of hysterical, too! :)

That is what the bigwigs always say during a war, but they never are.

After the turn of the centuryIn the clear blue skies over GermanyCame a roar and a thunder man has never heardLike the screaming sound of a big war bird.Up in the sky, a man in a planeBaron Von Richthofen was his nameEight-y men tried and eight-y men diedNow they’re buried together on the country side.Chorus:Ten, Twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or moreThe bloody Red Baron was rollin’ up the scoreEight-y men died trying to end that spreeOf the Bloody Red Baron of Germany.In the nick of time, a hero aroseA funny looking dog with a big black noseHe flew into the sky to seek revengeBut the Baron shot him down“Curses, foiled again!”(Chorus)Now Snoopy had swore that he’d get that manSo he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle planHe challenged the German to a real dog fightWhile the Baron was laughing he got him in his sights.That bloody Red Baron was in a fixHe tried everything but he’d run out of tricksSnoopy fired once and he fired twiceAnd that Bloody Red Baron went spin-nin out of sight.

Poor blighter. . .

Props to Linus for playing along…

♫ When it’s over, over there ♫

Flying in weather is like flying inside a Ping-Pong ball: sometimes a very dark Ping-Pong ball and in really bad weather, the Ping-Pong ball is in play in a lively game.

Metaphysical quandary: is Linus “really” there? Discuss among yourselves.

Anyone else watch “The Great War” on “American Experience” this week?

So Snoopy will be home in 257 days.
