Merry Christmas, Dil Bert! Oh yes, I love your US letterboxes, they are very convenient. Most of the time, I go outside to find that there are no letters in mine . Well, thank you very much for your precise and detailled informations, I appreciate a lot. Hope you spend a nice time with the people you love during this period of peace.

Hello everybody, hope you enjoy Christmas Here's a strip that must be typical with american letterboxes, I assume. I have found the meaning of SWAK (Sealed With A Kiss), but why is "Occupant" written in the first picture?

Hi Dil Bert,
Yes, I remember now. So Snoopy is speaking of himself. Maybe he is proud to follow the cart path, so his ball goes further. Snoopy, the golf specialist!

Rustom (2016) by Dharmendra Suresh Desai: a good story, where you don't know the truth until the end. But is it the truth really? Very interesting trial, full of twists.
Hichki (2018) by Siddharth Malhotra: touching movie, even if Rani Mukerji is sometimes irritating with her tics. Anyway, she is very comfortable with kids, and very moving with her efforts. You know of course what will happen in the film, but you want to see how.
Pari (2016) by Prosit Roy : a commonplace horror movie. Anushka Sharma tries something new, but still forget to breathe. This makes the film too long.

Hello hello! It's not because I don't come often here that I forget you, nor that I improve my English and I don't need you anymore, not at all! I need you more than ever. I know the is a special golf rule that obliges a player to drop his ball when he is on the cart path, but I can't see the fun in the following strip: Could you help, please? Is Snoopy speaking of himself, missing so many roughs or greens?

Hello Dil Bert Of course, "a grain of salt". Salt converted into chocolate by Snoopy, fond of chocolate cookies! Thanks.

Hello Dil Bert The simpler, the better. I also think that the fun of this strip is what you said. And that is why I am embarrassed. Is Snoopy impertinent or impertinent? ( ) You know, I had never seen Snoopy making fun of a human. In my mind, Snoopy is never impudent. He may be selfish, mythomaniac, lazy, gourmand, chicken, but never insolent. And if we consider he is intentionally ironic, de facto he would be cheeky. That's why I tried to find another analysis. Snoopy is not sardonic, I think he is really troubled. Look at his face, it's someone's thinking hard, divided, abashed. For me, Snoopy is really trying to find an answer (and that leaves him time to enjoy the blanket a few moments more!).

Hello MrB , it could be so. As I was thinking about this strip, another idea occured to me. As there are three pictures, there are three different moments. Between the first and the second image, a few seconds have passed, but each time, Linus pronounces "Right now". In a dog's head, how can there be two "Right now" moments at two different times?

Hello dancelover, Thank you for reminding me that Snoopy has not to obey Linus, I forgot that . I must say that in other strips, Snoopy follows Lucy, or Frieda (when she wants to go hunting rabbits), or Patty Smith... And sometimes, Snoopy doesn't even remember Charlie Brown's name ("Who is this rounded-head boy?")! Anyway, I still wonder about the last speech bubble. How could we explain it? "Right now" appears three times. Imagine we are looking inside Snoopy's head. 1rst: OK, Snoopy just repeats it. 2nd: Maybe Snoopy remembers his master's voice, when Charlie says it. 3rd: And now, maybe Snoopy hears it said by Linus, who is not his master, so he decides not to obey. Could it be something like that?

Hello again, here is something very funny. What would you call it: irony, tongue-in-cheek, second degree humor (I don't know if this latter exists in English)? And about "Right now": does it have several meanings, or does it have several meanings? (lol)

More than what Dil Bert said, Patapin. Hi dancelover, thanks for your long and detailled post, which is very precise everytime. In your France, most important newspapers are made in Paris. I guess that Marseilles might have its own papers, which would be "out of town" papers to a Parisian. That's right, news are often centralized. But even our small town (15 000 inhabitants in winter) has its own papers: when a boy takes his dog for a walk, and the dog insists on stopping, it is usually for a different reason than browsing through a newspaper. Of course! And even, most of the time, it's the master who reads the papers!

Thank you Dil Bert. This proves once again that Snoopy is broad-minded! His local news are not enough for him.

Hello, it's me again with my Peanuts questions. Except the fact that a dog usually can't read (but Snoopy is so special), and that is of course funny, can you explain me what are out-of-town papers? Do they concern suburbs news, or foreign news? Or something else?

Hello MrB, you're right, I didn't think of this meaning. So, Endora surely wants Darrin to stumble, or have a bad trip. Thanks.
