Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for April 08, 2022

go home, Charlie Brown, afore you catch pneumonia

CB; you forgot to tell them when it will clear up.

This won’t be the last time Charlie Brown will try and convince his team that it’ll clear up. Such dedication!

This became a recurring plot in later strips.

Need s new Weatherman Charlie Brown!

Pitcher’s mound already washed away?

Isn’t that what Noa’s neighbors said?

Standing in the acid rain may be the cause of CB’s hair issue…

“I’d keep playing. I don’t think the heavy stuff’s gonna come down for quite a while.”

What’s the original date of this strip?

Charlie needs some serious help.

When it started to rain, my Dad would say, “I hope this keeps up.” “Why,” someone would ask? “Because then it won’t come down.”

Me Dad loved corny jokes.

Like that George Harrison song says, All Things Must Pass.

I said that several times this week. Hasn’t cleared up yet. Doesn’t look like it will next week either. Grass keeps growing and it’s too wet to mow. Gotta love eastern PA in April.

Eventually, yes, it will clear up.

How do the girls slide into base with those dresses on?

One of the real classic Peanuts strips.

You keep doing that and your pitcher’s mound will drift off to sea!

On the other hand, that is one less game in the loss column.

In 40 days and nights, maybe.

Good ‘ol Charlie Brown, ever the optimist. Keep hoping little guy, but keep a life preserver handy just in case. When you get home you can take a nice warm bath and your mom will fix you a cup of hot chocolate.

There was a terrible drought in Texas. Two ranchers were standing on a porch when a huge downpour began. One of the ranchers peered into the storm and said, “Yep, this is how the last drought began.” (paraphrased from the Elmer Kelton’s ‘The Time it Never Rained’)

Were they practising or playing another team? If the latter, does this mean the other team forefited? Seems they left before Lucy said anything about quitting.

Palm Sunday, 1954.

Everyone else had cleared out to avoid the rain.

It will clear up…

That is some heavy rain.
