Caption: Everyone was headed for fun, even Charlie Brown.

Booklet Description: PICTURE 6 Meanwhile, back at the School of Hard Knocks, Charlie Brown, triumphing over the law of gravity and a certain fumble-footedness, had succeeded in getting his kite aloft. It took a lot of mumbling to himself and running around in various contradictory directions--but the important thing was that he had succeeded! "You've done it, Charlie Brown," he exulted. "You have done it at last! Come what may, no one can ever take this moment away from you!"

Caption: The victim raced trapward... but at the last moment...

Booklet Description: PICTURE 4 For a while there was silence. Then, again, "puddle-ump--puddle-ump--puddle-UMP. "I can't watch!" shrieked Lucy, covering her eyes. Puddle-UMP--Puddle-UMP! Snoopy was heading right for the squashed-down wicket. Nothing could go under it but his nose… But not even that went under. At the crucial moment the Beagle Express gave a neat little hop, and over he went. Once more hoofbeats drummed off into the distance.

Caption: No actor ever performed a better “death scene.”

Booklet Description: PICTURE 5 While the mighty hunter watched, his stricken prey staggered, swayed, nearly fell. Undoubtedly a mortal wound, Deerslayer thought; but he was not moved to compassion, for he knew all too well that those wicked fangs now bared in the throes of--er--death could have been buried instead in his own flesh had not his aim been true. -- Up close, though, the fangs didn't look so very wicked.

Caption: The grass was just great for running a dog.

Booklet Description: PICTURE 4 At the exact same time all this was going on (it looked like an amazingly busy day for Fate) Sherman was faring forth for an invigorating, not to mention exhausting, stroll through the park with that blue-blooded canine, International Grand Champion SCHNOOPISCH VON BRAUNSCHWEIGER III, who modestly preferred to go by the name of Snoopy.

Caption: the sidewalk fine for yo-yo-ing

Booklet Description: PICTURE 5 Linus's yo-yo glistened in the sun as he manipulated it with masterly skill, while he too set forth all unknowing to keep a rendezvous with Fate. None of the actors in this cast of characters was keeping track, but what it all added up to was the following: One dog leash; One balloon string; One set of jump ropes; One yo-yo string; And about a 100 yards of kite twine. So there went Linus up the hill where Sherman, and Lucy, and Schroeder, and Snoopy, and Fate…

Caption: Then Charlie saw his dog headed for the last wicket.

Booklet Description: PICTURE 5 "Some day that dog's going to go too far," Charlie Brown grumbled. "He'll irk me to distraction, and I'lI--I'lI feed him plastic dog bones, I'll--OH, NO, SNOOPY, NOT THOSE WICKETS!" He stared in horror as the sound of galloping hoofs rose again. For the second time Lucy covered her eyes.

Caption: Charlie, Lucy, and Schroeder devised a “Snoopy-trap.”

Booklet Description: PICTURE 3 "I'll teach that stupid dog a lesson he'll never forget!" vowed Lucy, hammering the center wicket down so far that only a swayback squirrel could have gone under it. "Now," she said with fiendish satisfaction, "let's see that smarty-pants chow-hound go ZOOM under that wicket."

Caption: As Linus left, Snoopy opened a sly eye and grinned.

Booklet Description: PICTURE 7 Slowly Linus straightened. He looked down unbelievingly at his victim lying there at his feet so unferocious and still. Next he stared at his bow and cautiously fingered the tip of an arrow. It really didn't look sharp enough to be so dangerous. It was hard to believe it had actually happened but it had. Turning dejectedly away at last from the scene of this dreadful deed, he murmured to himself, "Nobody'd know to look at me that I'm nothing but a cold-blooded killer."
