Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for February 12, 2020

Did you have to stand there Charlie Brown

how cruel (Stewie Griffin pronunciation; “cru-el”)

Haven’t you ever seen the moon during the day? It’s really pretty common.

You blockhead!

Charlie Brown is such a klutz.

At this early stage, Snoopy is like the Lil’ Rascals’ Petey.

And thereby hangs the tail…

Today’s wonderful strip reminds me of another one. I remember it only partly but Snoopy is typing away and writes something like “During my life I have suffered many tragedies.” One of the kids dismisses this saying to him “What tragedies? You haven’t suffered any tragedies.” Snoopy responds by declaring: “When I was a little puppy someone stepped on my tail.”

Very well behaved to sit there and just howl without trying to bite his leg. I haven’t known any dogs that wouldn’t try to free their tail if someone were standing on it. Either through trying to pull it free and run or through turning around and snapping at the offending leg, they’d try to free themselves of the pain rather than sit there and howl.

Chuck is not the brightest jack-o-lantern in the pumpkin patch!
