In a daily Peanuts comic strip, Snoopy, as an astronaut atop his doghouse in a full astronaut flight suit and helmet, pilots his craft near the moon, which is unseen. He says, "Here's the world-famous astronaut approaching the moon .." In the second panel he looks down, and says, "Fantastic!" In the third panel, he adds, "It looks like a dirty beach ..." In the final panel Snoopy thinks, "Or, has someone already said that?" Famously at the time, this was a quote from astronaut Jim Lovell during Apollo 8.

Fantastic!!

✒️Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz, originally published 3/13/1969 - The dirty beach quote is a reference to Jim Lovell on Apollo 8.

In a Peanuts newspaper comic strip clipping, Lucy Van Pelt is alone and looks into the night sky, and in the first panel says, "Poets tell us that the answers to life can be found in the stars." In the next two panels, she looks silently into the star-filled sky. It is nearly all black with little white dots. In the final panel, she walks off, upset, and says, "Stupid poets!"

Life's answers ...
