Ben — I wouldn’t impose upon Monte to authenticate his father’s signature, but if you send me a scan I could take a look at it with a friend of mine. Can’t make any promises, however. You can use the address on my “Contact” page.

hello i recently purchased a signed copy of “Snoopy: and it was a dark and stormy night” and was curious if you could authenticate the signature. i am professional book collector/seller and i looked at about 100 signatures that were “guaranteed” authentic but who knows? not me that’s for sure. could i send you a high def picture? i would really appreciate your opinion, thanks.
sincerely benjamin gustin

I can’t see drinking in a bar, because he didn’t drink! So that whole story was absurd. Funny, but absurd! So, no, I don’t think there was drinking in the strip, either, because Dad didn’t drink, but he thought it was funny to have Snoopy quaffing root beer. I also think he liked using the word, “quaffed.”

Hysterical, Monte! Come to think of it, when was drinking ever depicted in “Peanuts,” aside from Snoopy as the Ace Pilot in France quaffing root beers?

That’s hilarious! Come to think of it, when was your father ever drinking in a bar?
