Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 12, 2014

Beethoven would never have committed such an act of treachery. Shun him, Schroeder.

I hear that Beethoven traded 5 of his favorite sonatas for a hearing aid

Flip it over, Charlie Brown. Peppermint Patty wouldn’t have any of his other players, including the catcher.

They are all just commodities. Takes the sport out of Sports.

Winning is everything. Losing sucks.

He never wins!

Perhaps it comes later, but I know there’s a stretch where the team goes on a winning streak and gets all the way to the championship game … because CB hurt his arm and can’t pitch. Sadly, CB insists on playing in the championship, which dooms the team.

I will pick a nit here — Robert’s use of the pronoun “his” is in reference to Charlie.

I fear ol’ Chuck is getting into a Vince Lombardi frame of mind

No, Grog, winning isn’t everything! There’s, there’s, there’s, there’s….Wait! What did I say? Did I say winning isn’t everything?.I might need to reconsider this…

It’s “how you play the game”——-and Charlie Brown’s team plays lousy!

In the 4th panel — those could be prophetic words, CB! By the way, did Lucy ever advise you to be more of a Positive Thinker?

I said it before, I’ll say it again…

YOU BLOCKHEAD!!!
