Snoopy Is Joe Cool Motorized Model Kit
This Snoopy Is Joe Cool snap-together plastic motorized model kit is here for all the die-hard Peanuts fans, and maybe even more so for all the dues and ladies with alter-egos out there. Clark Kent, Donald Glover, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., my wife. Well, Superman, Childish Gambino, Snoop Dogg, and She-Ra: Princess of Power, meet Joe Cool. He's a shades-wearing, slick-as-Fonzie's-hair-grease college kid, and one of several alter-egos of the famous beagle himself. Snoopy as Joe Cool made his first appearance in the May 27, 1971 edition of Schultz's Peanuts comic strip.
This officially licensed model of Snoopy riding waves as Joe Cool is a simple build that requires no tools, glue, or painting. It includes a motor that, once you add a pair of AA batteries, bobs the surfboard along the waves, and spins the Snoopy riding it 'round and 'round.
Surf's up, dawg!

Looks like Snoopy's stuck at home bored out of his gourd too. At least he has the luxury of a schedule and a biology that allow him to nap 18 hours a day. I hope Charlie Brown is taking him for lots of extra walks. I'd...

If they consider "new erotic photography" to mean putting baby bottle nipples on a lady's nipples, then I'm...I'm...I'm OK with that. I mean, it seems a little redundant, and maybe wouldn't have been the first path I...
