- Peppermint Patty hides an apple beneath her doughnuts.

## Summary

An article picks out five food-themed jokes from Charles Schulz’s *Peanuts*, a subject the strip explored less often than baseball, philosophy or Snoopy’s imagined adventures. The examples show how Schulz found humour in familiar appetites and eating habits, with Snoopy’s fixation on food a recurring source of jokes.

The selections include Snoopy abandoning a dangerous doghouse when Charlie Brown orders pizza, and recoiling from a supper made from several French foods mixed together. Peppermint Patty’s healthy apple is hidden beneath her doughnuts, while other examples draw on Snoopy begging at mealtimes and the less familiar members of Woodstock’s bird crew. The article also notes that Snoopy’s inner monologue began in 1952, he started walking upright in 1956, and Woodstock was named in 1970.
