Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 14, 1959
Transcript:
Schroeder and Charlie Brown stand in front of the doghouse looking at Snoopy. Charlie Brown says, "I guess I just don't understand dogs!" Snoopy is confused.<br> <br> Charlie Brown continues, "I can't imagine why they want an old bare bone.."<br> <br> He concludes, "Snoopy's had THAT bone for months, and you never see him chewing on it!!"<br> <br> Snoopy watches Schroeder and Charlie Brown walking away. He thinks, "Has he never heard of a conversation piece?"<br> <br>
In my house, partially chewed bones or chews that the dogs refuse to finish but merely stash around the house are called “relics”.
