Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 14, 2024

There’s only one Jonah story anyway, so they’d see it as more durative and unnessary.

Write a story about the crabby girl next door.

Thar she blows!

good song about that:Woke up this morning kinda blue, Thinking through that age-old question: How to exit a whale’s digestion?

“Let me write that down…it sounds like a good idea.”

Scriptwriter James Goldman made a similar comment in the foreword to the novelization of his screenplay for the 1976 film Robin and Marian in which Robin Hood dies at the end. One of the producers who had turned down the screenplay told Goldman, “I wouldn’t touch this with a bargepole. You may as well kill off Tarzan.” After quoting this, Goldman commented “which I thought, and still think, would be a good idea.”

I thought that was what the Round Headed Boy was for?

Lucy. Typical know-it-all. Since when do dogs work to support themselves ?(Shy of searching for food 24/7 when their worthless owners neglect them.)

Dogs can support their families via their owners.

Maybe Snoopy could do it with science fiction. Clifford Simak made a living at that with oodles of dogs showing up in his stories.

It was a dark and stormy night at sea…

Speaking of whale stories, my wife had to read Moby Dick in school. She absolutely hated that story. She was an avid reader, and as far as I know, that was the only time she despised a book so much that she literally threw it across the room.

Just call me Ishmael….

Don’t let her burst you’re bubble, Snoopy!

Good luck finding a whaling magazine today.

Sounds like a whale of a tale, Snoopy.

He probably can’’t support her, yet it definitely won’t matter.

That job sounds traumatic. There must be a lot of sobbing and gnashing of teeth going on if you were working at a wailing magazine.

Staffed by nothing but a bunch of crybabies!

Jonah and the whale.

It was a dark and stormy night when they called me Ishmael.

They will live off the kindness of Good ol’ Charlie Brown

That would be a whale of a tale.

I’m sure there could be a lot of stories about what happens in a whale’s belly

Shout it from the rooftops, Snoop.

What happened to the wedding?

one could write the Jonah story from the whale’s perspective

And it starts, “It was a dark and stormy night….”

But it was a “great fish” not a whale.

This is actually kind of fun this story line, since I missed it 1st time around.

“It was a dark and stormy night. He was lying awake looking at the rejection notice from the publishing company. The rocking of the whale was making him seasick … "

Suddenly, the horizon appeared being chased by a pirate ship….and the can opener is missing.

Product descriptions for a prosthetic catalog? (Wait, I shouldn’t have said cat.)

Lucy is jealous because no boys like her
