10"I Ran Into Mickey Mouse"

Telling his cactus best friend about his latest travels,Snoopy’s brother Spike sharesabout how he met one big celebrity in Hollywood: Mickey Mouse! Running into the very famous rodent, Spike details that Mickey and he enjoyed a lengthy chat, with Spike taking the opportunity to complain about desert living.

9"But He Didn’t Answer"
Peanuts' Aug 10, 2025 Comic

8"Tarzan Beating Up Mickey Mouse"
Peanuts' July 08, 2025 Comic
Despite the class assignment of painting flowers, Rerun marches to the beat of his own drum, straying from what he was tasked to do.Instead, the youngest Van Pelt is making a drawing of Tarzan beating up Mickey Mouse before Daffy Duck beats up Tarzan, labeling it an R. Crumb-style ‘basement comic.‘His friend corrects him that the correct term is an underground comic, withRerun not caring muchfor labels and instead wanting to focus on his multi-cartoon character brawl.
Underground comics have alonghistory of parodying Disney, with a predictable focus on showing the iconic children’s character engaging in sex, violence and drug use. In that context, Rerun might actually have a career in underground comics, given his first instinct is to show Mickey taking a beating.
7"The Funny Looking Shoes"
Peanuts’ Jul 28, 2025 Comic
Spike plans on going into town in the hope that a “Hollywood-type girl” will sweep him off his feet in a convertible and take him away. As a result, he deems that he must look sophisticated if he wants to attract attention, wearing his prized Mickey Mouse shoes. It turns out, the Mickey Mouse shoes were not the best choice. While fans know that the shoes came from Mickey Mouse himself, the people ofPeanuts’ understandably assume Spike is wearing some novelty Disney shoes rather than celebrity fashion.
6"He Was Wearing Mickey Mouse Shoes"
Peanuts' July 30, 2025 Comic
When Spike stands on the corner wanting to get picked up by a Hollywood girl in a convertible, he discovers the hard way that he is standing in front of an animal hospital where he gets whisked inside before he even knows what is going on.

5"I Just Lease It By The Month"
Peanuts' June 11, 2025 Comic
Spike has learned something from living in the desert; that being that possessions can be a burden rather than a joy. Bragging about his lack of being attached to possessions, Spike relates to his cactus buddy that he only owns two things in this world, with one being a fishing hat his dad gave to him and the other being his shoes fromthe one and only Mickey Mouse. The strip continues the running joke of Spike continuing to exaggerate his ‘friendship’ with Mickey Mouse… or so it seems.
4"Snow White And The Seven Beagles"
Peanuts' July 02, 2025 Comic
Trying to help Snoopy out with his latest writing project, Lucy suggests doing what all great writers have done: just take a famous fairy tale and slightly change it.He decides to take her advice and begins work on his sure-to-be a classic,Snow White and the Seven Beagles.As off-kilter of an idea as it is, one must admit that seven beagles is a unique take on theSnow Whitefairy tale. And if Disney has proved anything, it’s that there really is a huge appetite for fairy tale retellings.
3"Grab Him!"
Peanuts' July 30, 2025 Comic
Spike writes a letter to Snoopy, as the siblings areboth family and committed pen pals, explaining that he is still waiting for Andy and Olaf to meet him at his desert home.

Lucy has never let being wronginterfere with her confidence, and that’s shown here as she relates a muddled retelling ofSnow White and the Seven Dwarves.As ever, Linus is a little ahead of the rest ofPeanuts' kids, realizing his sister has missed the point, but not causing a fuss by bringing it up. Instead, Linus praises his sister’s ‘insight’ - likely gleaned from a single viewing of the Disney classic.
1"They’re Just Not You"
Peanuts' July 23, 2025 Comic
Long before Spike got his real-life Mickey Mouse shoes, Snoopy tried out the novelty version. Sadly, Charlie Brown wasn’t willing to sign off on the fashion choice.
