A Dog's Night

The classic comic strip Peanuts made its debut on this day 75 years ago. With these four simple panels, Charlie Brown, Shermy, and Patty would enter the American zeitgeist and become pop culture legends. Well, Charlie Brown will.

November 14, 1966
I completely understand that we could get an original Born Loser and a new Born Loser that talks about golf or work or maybe even the bus stop, but the odds of being this specific about bringing in the dog has to be astronomical. I should go buy a lottery ticket.

How do you forget your dog is outside? I mean, I've forgotten him while I'm doing something else but I always remember "Hey, I need to let him in!" and I definitely never forget him at night. Anyway, Kewpie has been stranded outside for at least an hour and has already eaten all the poop laying around the yard.
