The last ever Peanuts comic strip from February 13, 2000 features Snoopy with his typewriter on his doghouse. Snoopy starts every story the same way, with the words, "It was a dark and stormy night." Lucy and Linus often reread Snoopy's work, and give him suggestions how to fix the story. Snoopy does not make very good use of their suggestions. For instance, in one strip Linus says Snoopy's stories all begin the same way, and tells the beagle he should change that. Snoopy responds by writing, "It was a stormy and dark night." In another strip, Lucy says Snoopy's stories would be improved by having more of a "once upon a time" beginning. Snoopy then writes, "Once upon a time it was a dark and stormy night".
