When Snoopy is teased by mean Lucy, he laughs and dances, and when Lucy is also lost to Schroeder, he laughs and comforts himself. In addition, there are 412 pages that introduce a wide range of ``Peanuts'' types of laughter, including a straight laugh that makes you feel happy, a smile that gradually makes you feel happy, and a wicked grin.
