Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 23, 2016

Well it was a good run.

Too bad Royanne hasn’t come along yet, that would have extended the streak to three games, maybe four.

Wow, he is really desperate to win. From not wishing a forfeit to extremely looking forward to one. I suppose winning matters more than playing this time.

It’s not Sunday everyday

If three forfeits are enough to place them top of the league, the rest of the league isn’t much better than their team!

Or it’s early in the year

You’ve reached your peak in life, CB.You must be very happy.

If he wants to win so badly, he should bench himself.

Besides these two forfeits, has Charlie Brown and his team ever won a baseball game throughout Peanuts history?

Charlie Brown gets the blame for their losing record, but surely some of the other players—-say, for example, the loudmouthed girl in deep roving right field who can’t catch a fly or field a grounder—-must have something to do with it.

Yay! This is my 100th comment!

Wasn’t the time Charlie Brown tried to steal home (and got within about ten feet of the bag) the championship game of that season?

Some men climb a mountainSome men swim the seaSome men fly above the skyThey are what they must be

But, Charlie the game must playCharlie, the ball must flyWherever your heart leads youCharlie, you must lose, Charlie you must lose…

apologies to Glenn Yarbrough & The Limeliters

Sorry, Charlie Brown. Ol’ pal.

R.I.P: Charlie Brown’s Winning Streak

I know it’s odd to be struck by this, but I was. Schroeder’s chest protector was always a light brown. Who is coloring these strips?
