9"How’ve You Been?"
Snoopy and Marbles were long-lost brothers for a time until their fateful reunion.
Marbles first appeared inPeanutsin 1982, and has been noted to be the smartest ofthe Snoopy family.
He instead prefers to point out the reality of the situation.
As a result, Marbles could best be described as the Sheldon Cooper of the Snoopy family.
The duo became an inseparable pairing in the strips and gained some trademarks of their own.
For example, Olaf and Andy are always getting lost somewhere.
This time, the duo manage to find themselves in Alaska instead of the desert.
Marbles does not seem to mind though, going along with Patty to wait for Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
Typically, dogs run after cats, not hide away from them.
This shared surprise would pave the way for the adventures of Andy and Olaf to follow in future strips.
