Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for November 19, 2020

how else was Charlie Brown s’posed to act when he loses?

He was being polite about it

CB, you should have quit two thousand nine hundred ninety eight games ago.

What is he supposed to do, cheer?

CB, it’s okay being a loser if you’re going to lose her (at least for a while)!

Charlie Brown is thinking “I should have done that 2,999 games earlier.”

Best thing she could do for him at this point…

My old man quit playing checkers with me after I forced over a dozen draws in a row.

“Someone has to win!”

Charlie needs new friends.

You have to admit – Charlie Brown has some serious persistence to go back to the well 3,000 times.

Switch to something different, Charlie. How about kicking footballs while a place-holder keeps the ball upright on the ground?

A honest reaction, we have not learned to play well with others,have we? (Adult speak:Wa, WAA wa WA,WA..)

Ah too bad, so sad for you Lucy.

How do you want him to act, Lucy? At least, he’s showing good sportsmanship.

He was a good sport 2999 times, and “rats” is very mild. A board game over the head would be my response.
