Since Snoopy usually eats out, it is a special occasion that he is having dinner with Charlie Brown and his friends. family, so it makes sense that he would dress to the nines for the invitation.

It's quite unusual for Charlie Brown to be arrogant or confrontational, but the winter weather seems to wake him up. Next time, Charlie Brown would be smart to build a snowball fort like his friend Linus.
