Not only is that when growing up it's one of my favourite comic strips...I still remembered among the first few spectacles I had wore (I am actually short-sighted) since as a young girl, it's a Snoopy brand. How much has changed since. j, I got two valid reasons from my childhood days why it reminded me of Snoopy and his friends.

I had always knew there was something about Jogi's surname. I had tried to search for the meaning of his surname before and I always ended up with 'Loewe'. Anyhow, other than always wondering how did the surname of Schweinsteiger came about (I only knew that was the most longest surname in the World Cup two years ago)...mystery solved, in all areas. Danke, Jan! :) And regarding my own name...its mythical origins was not on my father's mind when he gave it to me. Simply because of a certain Diana, Princess of Wales (when I was born, she was still alive). My father jumping on the bandwagon (he admitted it himself when I asked him about it once) like many parents when naming their daughters after Diana married to Prince Charles. For a moment I thought the picture reminded me of Snoopy. Okay, not really Snoopy but one of his many friends. Ah, the childhood days... Ha.
