A couple of years later, Mr. Peanut met with tragedy when he was mugged, then beaten and shelled.  Accused of the crime was Peter Wayne Pan, said to have been an angry and jealous competitor.  However, thanks to a powerful defense team led by Johnnie Cochran, Mr. Pan got off scot-free.

(RIGHT) Ahhhh, 1967.  Which meant another (excruciatingly bad) Elvis movie was just around the corner.

"Yes, sir.  Whatever you say, Colonel."








And the comic strip hasn't gotten any funnier .... um, er, pardon me, I must've belched.
