Peanuts by Charles Schulz for January 04, 2015

time to give up

But sometimes it’s worth it…

At least he’s accurate

Lucy must have a snowball stash somewhere!

I think Lucy should sub at pitcher, or maybe Linus on the baseball team.

Throw one, get back five.

Maybe that’s why Linus is a better pitcher than Charlie Brown?

What a wonderful 12 panel layout! Love the grid.

One’ll get you five.

This strip illustrates the fallacy of the story about the manufacturer who lost money on every widget he made. Someone asked him how he could stay in business. Volume, he said.

He should’ve pounded her with five. That would’ve made it even. Haha

Further proof that girls are superior to boys. In Lucy’s world.

Wow, kids don’t learn.

Amazing that Lucy throws so poorly when she’s playing baseball but so accurately when she’s throwing snowballs at her brother. Then again a baseball she is more motivated when throwing snowballs at her brother.

For your illumination I present five ladies who “retaliated with force:” Indira Ghandi, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth I, Boudica. Women can be just as willing to retaliate – or even initiate – with force as men.

Linus threw snowballs at Lucy because he was just playing.

Lucy however… WELL!

xxx

how can Lucy throw five at a time?!?

Linus should get Charlie Brown’s baseball mitt and catch some (all) of Lucy’s snowballs! We all know Charlie really has no use for it…

To be fair, he was warned before he ever made the first throw. I say, “Go Lucy.” If you promise a response, its important to followup with it.

Linus: 4

Lucy: 20
