I've always enjoyed the comic strip "Peanuts" and watching the yearly specials that air around the holidays. I even had a dog named Snoopy, but he already had that name before my family adopted him.

Today's strip, which originally ran October 19, 1959 hit even closer to home. I, much like most little boys, liked to play in the dirt with my toy trucks, mimicing what I saw in the adult world. With my interest in roads, I'd usually end up "building" or "repairing" one made of mud.



Since it was 1959, I wonder if Linus is "building" one of those "new" Interstates people were talking about.
