@ Johnny and Grog: I was thinking why does he have to run so far, if at all. And don’t let her know when. Yes. It’s a comic.Right now I only have four ‘Peanuts’ books, copyrighted 1952, ‘56, ’57, and ’65. Had others, but was ’dumb’ enough to sell or give them away.
If you looked at a 1965 90 minute Green Giant commercial on YouTube which has a promotion for a Green Giant rag doll offer showing the ad in the Sunday comics, a part of this 1965 Peanuts Sunday comic strip is there.
Charles Schultz died just one day short of the fifttyeth anivsersary of the Charlie Brown strip. When I heard that, the first thing I thought was.“Lucy moved the football” .
The last arc, he didn’t fall for it, so Lucy had to enlist Linus to hold the ball. And he’s not telling whether he pulled the ball away or let Charlie Brown finally place-kick the football. Personally, I don’t think Linus would do such a thing to Charlie Brown. I think he let Charlie Brown kick the football, but 40 years of falling for Lucy was bottled up inside him so he kicked it so hard that he landed flat on his back anyway. The football flew over the house, knocked Snoopy off his doghouse, then demolished Woodstock’s nest. But I don’t know that happened for sure, only Linus knows, and he’ll never tell.

Shouldn’t she have said, “We psychotics…”?

You should have tried being a quiet kicker, CB.

Charlie Brown should just forget the football, and kick Lucy! See how far she’d fly!

You should have left her there all night, Charlie Brown.
That would teach her!
