December 21, 1951: Who is that?

Peanuts

Snoopy looks a little closer to his classic appearance here. He's subtly larger than before.

Peanuts

Setting aside the question of whether Violet's throwing range is realistic, this is a good example of the kind of strip that fueled Peanut's early popularity. It's just funny. Everything about it.

There are a lot of funny strips coming up....
