The Fun Fact Friday prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" 
So, I can't choose which "fun fact" to use today...but here's where I usually get them from: Pick one   and tell us how it relates to you, how it makes you feel, how it punches you in the gut, or just stirs up whatever it is inside you that makes you wanna write something. The 30DBC commentariat has already been marching/dancing/grousing to full effect...shake your engaging tailfeathers and work with what I gave ya!

1956 - In the Peanuts comic strip, Snoopy walked on two legs for the first time.

On December 24, 1955, I turned 9 years old. January 5, 1956 fell on a Thursday1, and, since Peanuts was one of my favorite comic strips, I'm sure I saw that edition. I don't remember that specific comic, but I do remember reading Peanuts everyday. I probably read the strip either before I went to school or did whatever else I was doing that day, or in the afternoon. What I do remember about comics was my father reading me the Sunday Comics while I sat on his lap. I still enjoy the comic strips, I don't take a daily newspaper, but I do have a link to the comics on my Web Favorites.
