Charlie B

Captain's Blog, Stardate 3007.11.21.

We made first contact today with the Peanutsians. This is an alien race that we have heard rumors about for generations and today we made first contact while surveying the planet Schulz.

It began when I led a landing party to the surface of Schulz. Accompanying me were Mr. Spark, Mr. McBoozer, and Dr. McQuack. Oh, and a couple of guys in red shirts. One of them died when the other one accidentally shot the other with his quaser. Then he shot himself. I have got to remember not to take the red shirts to the surface. They always die.

Anyway, after that unfortunate occurrence, we encountered our first Peanutsian. He was about three feet tall, with a huge, bald head, and arms that could not even reach over his head. He introduced himself as Charlie B. He asked if we had seen a little red haired girl go by.

The next Peanutsian was actually a Peanutsian pet, a dog-like creature that walked upright on two legs. It had a big nose and wore a collar. It was very athletic, in fact during the short time we were on the surface, it managed to play baseball, hockey, tennis and golf. It spun its ears and flew through the air like a helicopter. It made demands of Charlie B for food and instantly got it, yet it managed to make a complete turkey dinner all on its own. It was quite a remarkable creature.

We met other Peanutsians. One that would not let go of a security blanket, another that bossed everyone around, another that played incredible music on what looked like a child's piano, and yet another that was followed constantly by a cloud of dust.

One other observation I made: although Charlie B appeared to be the leader, nobody listened to a word he said.
