Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 17, 2022

Snoopy better have trimmed claws.

I slept on a waterbed once and it was an experience. It truly felt like you were on asmall craft in choppy water.

Hope, you don’t get seasick, Snoop!

I’ve been sleeping on a waterbed for 48 years now. Sleeping is great, sex not so great, probably why they fell out of popularity. I dread trying to sleep on a regular bed whenever we travel.

I remember the story line now. Uh, oh….

I slept on a waterbed, sort of, for years and years. My bed was very hard. But it was on destroyers and frigates, which are on water. And the ships did roll and bounce around alot in storms. We sailors called are beds — racks.

Waterbeds never made it to Spain, probably because water is often hard to come by here, and many apartments aren’t built to withstand that much weight in one spot. I remember the first time I came as a student in 79 my mom wrote to say my brother had bought a water bed. When I tried to explain it to my host family they didn’t believe it. They said either the family was teasing me or mom was drunk when she wrote the letter.

Guest room, Peppermint Jen? You can do better than that. Come on, man.

It’ll be a different experience than sleeping on the doghouse, huh, Snoopy?

The first waterbeds were like that, as well as having pretty thin plastic skins. Had a cat put a couple of holes in one once, quite rude having to jump out of bed in the middle of the night as the water slowly trickled over me.

Snoopy is gonna love the waterbed. I can truly tell.

Oh, is this the one with, “I wanna kick him, not kiss him!”

BOINGY…BOINGY…BOINGY…

I hope his nails are clipped

I hope she has bean bag chairs to go with it

We had a water bed once. All I remember is sinking into it and hardly being able to roll over. Bouncing was NOT an option!

Snoopy is getting along swimmingly!

Show him to the guest room, huh? How ’bout showing him out the door?

The ‘70s.

I never thought about the concentrated weight a waterbed brings with it. Between that and leaks it seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

Anyone else have a déjà vu moment in the first two panels?

My wife and I ditched sleeping on a waterbed upon the advice of our chiropractor! Smartest thing we ever did!

Well Snoopy, it’s already better than the “guest room” you offered Patty, where her feet stuck out the door.

The old cabinet television in the third panel speaks volumes to the age of this strip.

I’ve heard stories… when one person shifts or rolls over, the other person gets a mini roller coaster ride, lol

When did she stop calling him “the kid with the big nose” or something like that.
