It’s the #FanArtFriday 2025 finale! And this week’s CRAZY #FanArt honoree is the amazing @jimmygownley.bsky.social! Among my all-time favorites, it just didn’t seem right to kick off the Witching Hour until Amelia has her say! And there’s nothing scarier than a giant strawberry!

Ready to have your mind blown? It’s not a volcano. It’s the cooling tower at 3 mile Island; a nuclear power plant near my home that almost melted down and blew up the east coast back when I was 7.😀😂

Woodstock says, “Don’t miss the newest episode of Unpacking Peanuts!” Or at least I’m assuming that’s what he’s saying. I don’t speak Woodstock language, actually…

Woodstock chirps out multiple lines while Snoopy listens with no identifiable expression on his face.
