Sometimes Peanuts got really weird, but I just don't see this as exceptional. The girl thinks the dog would say something important, instead he's thinking something really dumb. Classic comedic juxtaposition.
@9 Have you looked at the recent new one strip comics floating around? We are in the freaking dark ages of strip comics.
@5 and @6 thanks for putting into words my general thoughts. I kinda figure if people can't see it, you can make them. Schulz can sort of grows on a person with his relentlessness of the small. But I don't know if it can be taught...
Snoopy has clearly glimpsed Marcy's future and is desperately trying to warn her. Oh but for this cursed canine inarticulation! "Don't adopt those Chinese babies with Peppermint Patty," he'd say. "For that way lies only heart-break." You will never get to go to the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival again."
