I’m not sure the first thing I didn’t read avidly was Peanuts. I do know I clipped dailies and glued them to notebook paper before I found out I could buy collections of the strips in books. It was Peanuts, through Robert Short, who introduced me to the names Bultmann and Barth and Bonhoeffer and Kierkegaard.🎉🎁🐾 Happy Birthday, Snoopy!

🎂 Although Snoopy’s birthday is celebrated on a few different dates in Peanuts, August 10 has become his official birthday based on strips that ran from August 8–10, 1968.

So many Northern Europeans….
Anyway, a good day, and a good excuse, to dance….

comes our Pfarrer now, blessing the West with water:
we may go. There is no Queen's English
in any context for Geist or Esprit: about
catastrophe or how to behave in one
what do I know, except what everyone knows -
if there when Grace dances, I should dance.

loved peanuts. one of my favorite birthday presents ever was given to me by my grandma: the 'sandlot peanuts' book, signed by joe garagiola.
ReplyDeleteYes, one of my first regular reading experiences was Peanuts in the paper. In the early 70's as a young kid I had a sweatshirt i adored with Snoopy and the words, "Happiness is a warm puppy."
ReplyDeleteI had that book, but I think it disappeared years ago.
