Hi, here are two more jokes I can't decode, would you please help me? I guess that dog blood i must be a kind of anemia, or could it be cowardness? Obviously, it's a play on words that offends Snoopy!
A(n) hookeroo is surely someone greedy, just as Lucy, no?

1 No. It is simply that Snoopy naps often, so when Charlie Brown finds himself tired despite "a good night's sleep" he naturally compares himself to his dog. But Snoopy does not find that comparison so natural. 2 No, again. "Hookeroo" is a long way of saying "hook." Linus and Lucy, as brother and sister, are expected to give Christmas Presents to each other. Linus, too young to have much money, is not in a hurry to buy one, or commit to a specific one. The "hook(eroo)" is the obligation, not the person (who is more "controlling" than "greedy," anyway.) Howard "Dancelover" Wilkins Hi, here are two more jokes I can't decode, would you please help me?

My guess is it's a reference to the phrase dog-tired.

Thank you Howard, and Dil Bert, for your explanations. I thought that dog blood would mean "tired as a dog" or lazy, but you enlightened me. And so, hook is not Lucy, it's juts the "obligation", I never thought of that. Thanks again. See you soon for Peanuts#4!
