Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for July 03, 2018

Reminds me of the scene in BREAKING BAD where the Mexican assassin tested the bullet-proof vest!

I don’t remember a time when the batter hit the catcher during the game (on purpose or by accident).

Lucy is disturbingly good at administering buttstrokes…

Lucy is meanness personified.

Lucy broke the fourth wall there. Pretty unusual for Peanuts, I think.

If it were hockey, I’d say Lucy got a game misconduct for spearing.

Three strikes and Schroeder’s in the emergency room.

In real life, that’s how Houdini died.

I love the look in Lucy’s eyes in the second panel.

Lucy is an evil little girl.

The pads will prevent broken ribs, but won’t completely absorb the blow. A friend of mine was shot wearing a bulletproof vest. He was spared fatal injuries, but he knew when he was hit, and he still had a cracked rib and a large bruise.

Well, this take “getting in their head” to a new level.

Wonder if Lucy killed Houdini…..(then again, Lucy probably killed vaudeville!)

And she wonders why Schroeder doesn’t like her.

Negan’s mother.
