“Charlie Brown, we needed a fourth for bridge before we go lawn bowling. Well, we don’t really, but an empty chair doesn’t work and Snoopy can’t play cards yet. You’re better than nothing, but not by a lot.”
“That’s the swellest thing that anybody’s ever said to me!”
Note that Charlie Brown is not on the girls’ team. They brought him into be a loser on the other team. Hard to tell how his new partner feels about this.

If they asked Lucy, would she probably mistake the game for “Go Fish”? Don’t know about Schroeder though.

Bridge seems like an awfully sophisticated game for children this age

I hope you studied up on Goren, Charlie Brown!

I am like the others that have been commenting; the paper is getting smaller and costing more, so I read the bridge column and the obits, now.

Again with Bridge…I guess that was the “in” card game at the time.
I still prefer Euchre.

My parents always played Pinochle. I never learned it.

Then we drew straws to see who would have to take you as a partner!

Linus is way too young to play bridge. Lucy and Schroeder are too young. Who in that neighborhood is left?

Patty and Violet on the same team? I bet they cheat. I wouldn’t trust either one of them.

Wait until they ask you to model for them at the Halloween party, Charlie Brown.
