Haiku Friday: Cartoons, etc.

 


I've been reading the comics my whole life, though it makes me sad that they have made them smaller these days for some reason. 

When I was a little kid, I came across an old Peanuts strip with three panels. In the first one, Charlie Brown is talking to Snoopy, saying "You dog." In the second one, with the same art, Charlie Brown says "You cur." and then in the last panel, he tells Snoopy "Oh, you dog." I've been thinking about that for half a century now, and I'm still not sure what it was about. I mean... was that funny? Or was there some deeper meaning? Or, was it just an off day for Charles Schultz?

Anyways, let's haiku about our well-drawn friends this week. Here, I will go first:

Snoopy was like me
Loved to dance and imagine
Did not seem owned.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!
