Who has good memories of the adventures of Snoopy versus the Red Barron?

2015-08-31T08:47:13-04:00

Today Duffleblog posted a typical satirical post about a F-35 losing a mock dogfight to the Red Barron in a Fokker DR1. That brought back memories of snoopy versus the Red Barron in Charles M Schulz authored Peanuts comic stripe, in the Royal Guardsmen singing Snoopy versus the Red Barron in the 1960s, and the TV shows that came out at Halloween, Christmas, etc. How many of you enjoyed Peanuts?

I admit I enjoyed Peanuts a lot while I was growing up. I enjoyed reading the comic strips, watching the TV shows and even listening to the Royal Guardsmen singing "Snoopy versus the Red Barron."
I enjoyed watching the Peanuts holiday specials which had the Vince Guaraldi trio soundtracks.

Since we're approaching the Halloween season, I'm going to say my favorite was the Halloween special. Snoopy dressed as the World War I flying ace. We get to see him engage the Red Baron and subsequently get shot down. I think it's the only animated movie where we get to see Snoopy portray this character.

Correction to my choice, I still enjoy! and have been doing so since the 1960's. When I was teaching high school history towards the school year, I showed "What Have We Learned Charlie Brown" and the final was a class dialogue.

Peanuts was one of my favorite memories of the holiday seasons! I now have them all on DVD. While deployed, my wife always included something Snoopy or Woodstock in her care packages, they always cheered me up!

LTC Stephen F., the old 33 1/3 RPM vinyl record during the Christmas of 1980. I got a snoopy record player with the Snoopy vs. the Red Barron story/song, and the Puff the Magic Dragon somg (which would later come under scrutiny, LOL).

I had a set of baby blue “onsie’s” with the footsies, the whole nine yards. They were adorned with Snopy and his flying dog house tying up with the Red Barron himself.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

I enjoyed the Peanuts comic strip that appeared in the newspapers, LTC Stephen F.. I always thought the novelty song, "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" was a little much.
