Recently, I picked up Fantagraphics The Complete Peanuts<\/i> Volume 10, which covers the adventures of Charlie Brown and the gang from 1969 and 1970.<\/p>\n
I was flipping through it leisurely, and on January 4, 1970, Snoopy received his annual questionnaire from the Head Beagle.<\/p>\n
Without further ado, here’s my annual report to Head Beagle on my 2008:<\/p>\n
1. How many rabbits have you chased?<\/b>
I saw one in the yard in April. I gave chase, because it was there. I didn’t catch it. It definitely eluded me.<\/p>\n
2. How many cats have you chased?<\/b>
One cat, multiple times. Most often, it’s when the cat is being stupid; he wants to come inside, but then he won’t come in, so I go outside to fetch him, and then he decides it’s time to play. Again, the cat eluded me on these multiple occasions.<\/p>\n
3. How many owls did you howl at?<\/b>
None. I haven’t seen an owl this year. If I had seen an owl, I probably would have said, “Well, fuck me sideways, it’s an owl!” rather than howl at it.<\/p>\n
4. Did you take part in any fox hunts?<\/b>
I thought fox hunts were illegal in many parts of the world.<\/p>\n
5. Relationships with humans…
a. How did you treat your master?<\/b>
I have good working relationships with my colleagues at the office.
b. Were you friendly to neighborhood children?<\/b>
I wave at them in the mornings, on the occasions that I see them. I had comic books for them on Halloween, if only they had come to my door.
c. Did you bite anyone?<\/b>
I should hope not!<\/p>\n
That, my friends, is 2008 in a nutshell. I chased cats and rabbits. I didn’t see an owl. Nor did I sink my teeth into anyone.<\/p>\n
How was your 2008 by comparison?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
