I loved that part. Wasn't that part of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown",
though? That cartoon was the reason I bought a Jew's harp. Is "Jew's harp"
still PC? Mine said Jaw harp on it when I bought it.

Going off the subject for a sec, I just talked to my Jewish friend, Shlomo
Cohen (real last name), and he has that particular instrument, and he refers
to it as a "Jew's harp".

Going on a Peanuts-related subject, I saw the town of Petaluma mentioned at
least three times in the strip. Once for the wrist-wrestling championships,
one when Peppermint Patty (last name: Reichardt) went to the figure staking
championships in Oakland, 50 miles from Petaluma, and some other time.

The most absurd Peanuts strip I saw is when Eudora took Linus's blanket, and
Snoopy dressed up as Joe Disco trying to schmooze her. Really weird, but
funny.

Me too. Unfortunately, it doesn't always carry a lot of weight.
