Snoopy sits on the ground, leaning against the doghouse. He thinks, "Today is Father's Day..."<BR><BR> He lies on his back on top of the doghouse and thinks, "I wonder where my father is..."<BR><BR> He lies on his stomach, with his head hanging over the edge. He thinks,"That's the trouble with being a dog...They take you away from your family, and sell you to some stupid kid and you never see your Mom and Dad again!"<BR><BR> Sitting up, Snoopy frowns, thinking, "'But you get to live with a human family,' they say... Ha! Big deal! Some choice!"<BR><BR> In profile, Snoopy gets angrier, thinking, "You don't even get a choice! You go where they send you! Humans drive me crazy! Just thinking about it makes me so mad I could..."<BR><BR> "Suppertime!" Charlie Brown stands there, holding a full supper dish. Snoopy turns around.<BR><BR> CHOMP GULP! CHOMP GULP! CHOMP GULP! He eats.<BR><BR> BONK! The empty supper dish sails through the air and smacks Charlie Brown on the head as he walks away.<BR><BR> CHarlie Brown sits on the ground, dazed. He thinks, "Now, what brought THAT on?"<BR><BR>
Ha, typical in Panel 7, when you’re SO beside yourself with rage, that you could just EXPLODE if the VERY CAUSE of your grief shows up, and sure enough-BAM! All of a sudden, there Charlie Brown is, Snoopy QUICKLY WOLFS DOWN his meal and with that THROWS his supper dish at “the round headed kid.”(something we all can relate to-really needing to get our overwhelming feelings of grief out of our systems), leaving CB, on the other hand, COMPLETELY nonplussed-“WHATEVER just got into Snoopy, prompting him to act like that?! I don’t understand that at all!”
