Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 15, 2024

Puter, huh? For dog food?

Just restart that baby, Charlie Brown. TRS-80 knows what to do.

This is apparently from 1977. There was the Apple II, and yes, the TRS-80, but home computers hadn’t really caught on yet. I wonder if there’s some topical reference that I’m missing.

Your dinner delivery date has been postponed to sometime in January. We’re sorry for the delay.

Being mean to your dog all week will make him run away again.

The computer broke down? IBM or HAL?

Snoopy’s supper was computerized in 1977. Peanuts is way ahead of its time.

If he’d drop the bowl, he could bite him !

Sorry Snoopy. The recipe is on the computer.

This is a real thing today. Not so much in 1977.

Does Charlie get Snoopy’s food at Stop and Shop?

Doubt if a barber’s family would have a computer in 1977 or even 1987.

In the mid 70s, Gene Roddenberry came to speak at my school. He predicted that in ten years, people would have computers in their homes.

I said to myself, “Yeah, like that’s gonna happen!”
