Good Grief!

Wow, 2014 went by rather quickly. Happy day after the new year, though! Today's post is going to be a short one, but it's about everyone's favourite, beloved dog - Snoopy (not Snoop Dogg). I've got an old book of a whole bunch of Shultz's Snoopy comics pulled together to make a neat little "ode" to Snoopy.

 



One of the greatest books of my childhood, I think (mainly 'cause of the lack of writing and the abundance of pictures - always the best thing for kids). I grew up wanting a pet like Snoopy. A pet who would eat pizza, enjoy listening to Beethoven, and only drink out of their water bowl if there were ice cubes in it. Was that too much for a kid to ask? Probably. Although, I suspected for a while that my cat might've liked listening to Norah Jones... I couldn't prove it, though. And my cat likes eating peas, but that's not pizza. Though it starts with 'p' so we're getting somewhere. Peas... Peas, ah... Peas-ah... Peazah... Pizzah... Pizza. Done. How am I gonna relate Norah Jones to Beethoven? They're both composers of (good) music, they're both humans, and they both live(d) on Earth. And you've never seen Beethoven and Norah Jones in the same room. So, Norah Jones = Beethoven. Done. The water and ice cubes thing? Never tried it, but in a parallel universe, my cat is already drinking out of her water bowl with ice cubes floating in it. Done. Therefore, my cat is Snoopy. Brought to you by logic.
