Strip by: Hunter (Chez) Fenton

{Charlie Brown is about to train Snoopy to jump through a hoop}
Charlie Brown: You stand there and I'll stand right over here...
Charlie Brown: Jump, Snoopy! Jump!
{Snoopy, being a crazy dog, does a backflip -- much to CB's frustration}
Charlie Brown: NO! NO! NO! Through the hoop! THROUGH THE HOOP!
Charlie Brown: Come on now... Jump through the hoop... you can do it...
{Suddenly, Snoopy has a wonderful idea}
Snoopy: A kangaroo! That's what I'd like to be! Boy, I'd go jumping all over the place...
{Snoopy then goes back to get a good running start}
Charlie Brown: Ah! I think he's got the idea... He's going back to get a good running start...
{Snoopy then starts running towards the hoop}
Charlie Brown: C'mon, Snoopy! That's the boy!! JUMP!!
{Snoopy did, but he leaped through the hoop hopping around like a kangaroo, to CB's surprise}
SFX: BWANG! BWANG! BWANG!
Charlie Brown: ?

This was an old strip I put together back in 2014. It was originally gonna be part of a longer Peanuts parody strip, but then I moved on to doing other stuff. I just shortened it... and it was a good improvement!
