October 21, 1953: More mystifying Snoopy attributes

We know that his ears are made of imitation leather. Now it seems that the contents of his head are an excellent sound transmission medium.

Later on we have the "Cheshire Beagle" trick and, of course, the Whirlidog. It'd be fun to work up a cross-section diagram, Baxter Building or MST3K Gamera style, showing where all the devices and mechanisms reside that give Snoopy his powers.

Unless he's actually an amorphous, magical, Shmoo-like creature. He's almost the right color for that!

December 29, 1950: What were they doing?

I like the look on Snoopy's face here, resenting Charlie Brown's intrusion on his and Patty's private time.  But what were they doing?  Was Patty reading to Snoopy?  The current-day, South Park-informed joke to make here, of course, is to suggest some naughty activity they were engaged in.


I will resist these implications with every fiber of my being.
