Search by Keyword or Character Dialogue
You can search by Keyword, Character Dialogue, or both. To find specific dialogue from a particular strip, just type the dialogue within quotation marks. Our search engine will look for direct matches based on the exact words within the quotation marks. You can search for combinations of Keywords by adding AND in between, or search for more than one keyword by simply typing in both keywords.

What is the difference between "Keywords" and "Character Dialogue"?
"Keywords" are words and phrases which are used to identify the prominent themes, ideas, objects, settings and actions in a particular strip. "Character Dialogue" refers to the words and characters which appear in the strip. For the most inclusive search results, we recommend that you select "Both" when performing your search.

Narrow By Date:
Once you've entered your search term, you can narrow the results based on when the strip was originally released. Enter the beginning date to the left, and the end date to the right, to return results only within that time period.

I've tried the above and still can't find the strip!:
Some of our comic properties, including Peanuts, are reprinted after their original publication date. In the case of Peanuts, the strip you may have recently seen on our Website or in your local newspaper was originally published several years ago. To find strips through our search engine which have been reprinted, make sure you are using the original publication date within the date range field. If you are not sure of the original publication date, simply leave the date fields blank. You may get more results, but you should still find what you are looking for.

• Your Internet Service Provider or company may be preventing you from receiving the images with either a SPAM filter or a firewall.
• Make sure that you are not offline. You need to have a live connection for the strip(s) to come up.
• You may have too many strips selected. Slow Internet connections, like dial-up, are not capable of quickly opening up e-mails containing a large amount of images. This causes the e-mail to suffer information overload and the strips to break. We find this is especially true with Sunday strips because they are larger and in color.
• Your e-mail system is not HTML compatible or you do not have HTML enabled in your e-mail settings. Please check your settings or find more information in your e-mail provider's Help section.
