Joe Cool

Well, nobody's cool like Joe Cool. Joe Cool being of course the alter ego of Snoopy, the imaginary cool (well of course) college student, who spends his time doing very little, especially study wise. He was first featured in Peanuts 49 years yesterday. When I was a child, I thought Joe Cool was funny, but I was not certain why. At college and uni, I saw what the appeal of the character was: he lives the ideal life of any college student. And he's just so perfectly laid back, so darn cool. I wish I had been like him and could have spent my years in education like he did, without a care in the world.
