Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 25, 2014

I’ve always loved how Snoopy first thrusts his muzzle up on the table like a “real” dog, then, after checking for grown-ups, reverts into his normal mode, clenching the pen in his HAND and scrawling away.

Maybe it’s showing that Snoopy can use a pen just fine, when Charlie Brown can’t.

Or maybe not.

thats cute

I remember being taught to draw kitty cats and bunnies just like that in about 2nd grade. Unfortunately, that’s about as far as my skills go.

Love Snoopy’s little smile.

@Joseph HoukYes, it’s just like Snoopy’s novels. You would expect somethink more meaningful from a dog that can draw or write. But instead he’s just repeating clichés because he is like you and me.

But How did a WWI Flying Ace learn about Kilroy? Kilroy was a WWII (and later) thing…

Ah memory…such a fleeting thing…Snoopy is friends with Bill Mauldin. He goes to his house to quaff a few root beers on Veteran’s Day.

Snoopy. Truly a dog among puppies!

I remember just about every paper-bag-covered schoolbook had at least one or the other – or both – of those doodles…mine included.

Interesting that he drew a cat. Must be before his nemesis moved in next door.

Killroy was here

He drew a cat… because cats are easy to draw (didn’t we all learn how to draw them, just like that?). He drew Kilroy — because he needed someone to blame for the cat drawing. After all, no beagle worth his mettle would ever draw a cat! :-D “Kilroy was here!”

Nice drawings Snoopy did of a cat with his back turned and a boy trying to peek over a fence.

No words wow

No words wow

No words wow

I’d just like to point out that Schulz’s drawing style is about as simple as Snoopy’s. You can count the lines in one of his strips, and it’s usually fewer than the number of letters. In that regard, this strip stands out as well. It is one of his very few with no dialogue at all.

Here I thought because of Snoopy’s wacky creativity that he was left-pawed………

I think the main point of this strip is that even Snoopy can use a pen, unlike the round-headed kid.

Kilroy strikes again…

That dog has a pretty good grip for not having any thumbs.

Of course Snoopy’s a budding cartoonist!

Well done, Snoopy!

Schultz always complained that he had trouble drawing cats. That’s why there are so few strips with cats. I think it’s a bit of tongue and cheek that Snoopy can draw cats where Schultz himself can’t. Also, the strip is just cute as hell on it’s own.

Hi there, Snoopy_Fan. I hope you have had a wonderful week. -Remember that ‘songbook’ I sent you which had music from 1950-1959? Well here is one with music from 1960-1969. You should be more familiar with these songs since you grew up in the 60’s:

I’m familiar with only a few of them. The only full song I have heard is Number 24. I’ve just heard clips of others.-Hope you like this video and I hope you and your family had a lovely Easter. -May you have a lovely, pleasant weekend.-Hugs & Kisses!

♥♥♥

@Snoopy_Fan

Oh, I’ve heard Number 5 fully too. Forgot to add that. Sorry.

Snoopy always appears to be typing. Does he have bad or hard to read paw-writing?

LOL!!! Love it!!!!

CB is going to wonder how that got there! :-)
