You're right, dancelover Patty suffers from some illness, and it's only the name she gives that is imaginary.

Hi Dil Bert, I didn't know the word crud. And: very funny, the "con crud". I can't believe we live in the 21rst century. People are sometimes very strange.

Hi again, for the 40th times! Gollywoppers, most of the time spelled gollywhoppers (see: urbandictionary topic, ) I guess it's a sort a word that can mean anything, or in this case is used by Peppermint Patty to name an imaginary desease. Do you use this word sometimes?

Hi Mr B, how are you? Great work you did, thank you. Now very few sentences left to adjust, each one with this "Eena" sound. (ex: Hard to get up, tall enough ). Well, we'll stop there, it's not worthy losing our energy for just a few words, and now I understand the meaning of the song in its globality. See you soon for a "Peanuts"!

Well, I didn't see the movie Leo the last (1970) from John Boorman, but when I went to England in the 70's, I bought a Soundtrack L.P., and there was this song (by Fred Myrow) I listened to recently. You can hear it at 0:14:56 there:
Nowhere did I find the lyrics, so I tried to write them, and here I would ask you to help me. I put in bold characters words I am not sure of, can you please correct my mistakes? here we go.
Leo the last (Fred Myrow)
Where do the dreams go Up in the sky With all of their hopes You thought were lost
But they're only waiting Up in the sky For someone to find (...) them For someone to get high Eena
There was a man who lost a dream Do they really fly away Look up they can see a thing That's just a bird flying
Oh where he searched the sky in a foreigner land Follow your eye hoping To look up high to understand That they're answers waiting there
Where do the hopes go Up in the sky With all of the long names You thought were lost
But they're only waiting Up in the sky For someone to find them For someone to get high Ho I know
Oh well the silly world is very Europe All together ho Leena Catch it or it disappears Like a bird flying
Well you got to get up high To breathe the air A risk of freedom of everywhere You've got to try to understand That they're answers waiting there
Man of the city Under a cloud Just spread those wings out You thought were lost
But they're only waiting Up in the sky For someone to find them For someone to get high High and up
I said high enough
Man of the city Just spread those wings out
Ho Eenaaaa I know He na
Man of the city Spread those wings out A risk of freedom of everywhere You've got you've got The tear

Great! I wonder how we could translate that in French.
"Ça marche!" (It works!) maybe. (The verb "marcher" can be translated by "to walk", "to work", "to run", "to function", "to go", "to operate"...
Or better: "Ça marche bien" (It works good)

Very interesting perspective, dancelover So Mauldin showed war as dirty it was, not like it was showed before, clean, neat, nearly attractive! Thanks for your new light. I can now construe "He drew great mud" as a compliment.

Well, I never read any cartoon from Bill Mauldin , and I discovered him while reading Charles Schulz's Peanuts. There are 19 cartoons dedicated to Bil!: www.gocomics.com/blog/3501/classic-peanuts-comics-commemorating-veterans-day. I believe Charles was very found of Bill's work! Now, what is the meaning of the last sentence in this strip? For me, this remark is irreverent, as if the only good thing Snoopy can say about Bill Mauldin is not his cartoons, the war, the soldiers, but just the landscapes. Hm...

Hello ! Today, another strip that intrigues me. Is it a reference to Billie 'Buckwheat' Thomas (1931–1980)?
