July 20, 1951: Oh that Charlie Brown! ♥♥♥

Peanuts

This is a strange strip. I don't even think I want to get into this one. Draw your own conclusions, I'm kind of disturbed.

July 19, 1951: Schroeder's still a baby

Peanuts

It won't be long....

July 18, 1951: This would make Wii Golf a lot better, in my opinion.

Peanuts

I'm pretty sure they don't let dogs on golf courses. Something about "digging holes" or something similar. Of course, there aren't many four-year-old kids on them, either.

July 16, 1951: Snoopy, the refined dog

Peanuts

Snoopy has too much ambition to shoot his mouth off.

July 11, 1951: Schroeder's first words

Peanuts

They are "bye-bye."

Note: NOT "Beethoven!"

July 10, 1951: Charlie Brown in a baseball game

Peanuts

This is the second reference to baseball in the strip, and the first that shows the kids actually playing. It looks like Patty can really belt the ball, just like her later namesake Peppermint Patty.

July 9, 1951: Just a dog

Peanuts

Snoopy's cute when he's offended (panel 2). Of course, his excitement dies down a bit in later years.

July 5, 1951: Snoopy victorious

Peanuts

It's an honest-to-goodness fight cloud in Peanuts.

I love the look on Snoopy's face. Also, who'd have thought Patty could be so bloodthirsty?

July 4, 1951: Oh, those girls!

Peanuts

Ha! Ha! It's stereotypical!

July 3, 1951: Boo

Peanuts

It won't be much longer before Snoopy starts using thought balloons, and this joke wouldn't work if they were in use. Did Schulz plan it that way, getting the joke used while the using was good?
