Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for April 19, 2020

either the horseshoes are too heavy, or the kids aren’t throwing them hard enough

How about the first one who gets it past halfway wins the game?

Just imagine if they were using steel horseshoes instead of the rubber ones.

At least their aim is high, if unrealistic! :D

Do not see the back of Charlie Browns head that often!

“Nothing to nothing leaves nothing. You gotta have something, if you wanna beat me.”

Perhaps they should move the stakes closer, or maybe move in a few steps.

By the time either of them earn a nickel, they will have gotten big enough and strong enough to throw the distance. (I am factoring in the value of a nickel when this strip was originally written).

Some poor horse is wandering around shoeless because of these brats.

I remember the “clank” of those steel horseshoes well, as in the early fifties on Sunday mornings men would be tossing them, over goodly distances it seemed to me, playing this game on the field in my neighborhood park.

As for that nickel, just give it to Rerun—he’ll find something to do with it!

Someone should tell them the rules to horseshoes gives the point to whoever is closest. (I would have thought Schultz knew that.)

Move the stakes closer.

They are over confident of their skill set, here.

Take a running leap or move the posts closer.
