Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 15, 2020

When I hear the word credit, it makes me think this: Cha-Ching!

until Monday to know the results

C’mon Snoopy, we know you can be a credit to your breed. Just tail it, err, that is nail it!

The pitcher must be getting tired if Charlie Brown got on base!

So … no pressure then, eh?

So, it’s a one-run game, much closer than usual for Charlie Brown’s team.

Snoopy must really wanna put beagles on the map

I sure would like to know how Charlie got on base.

“Snoopy at the bat” we all know what happened to Casey.

Younger readers will not understand to what Schulz was alluding with Snoopy’s comment.

This would make more sense if we were talking about tying Roger Maris’ record for home runs in a single season. But since we’re talking about the record for career home runs, can’t he just tie/break the record next season even if he strikes out here?

Hey Snoopy..if you really want to be a credit to your breed…go chase some rabbits! ;o]

I am a credit to my breed, but no one agrees with me.

“Mr. Snoopy, heroism is on line 1. Will you take the call?”

It looked a little rocky for the Peanuts nine that day….

The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Mudville nine that day……………………….

Sydney or the bush!

Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;

And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,

But there is no joy in Peanutsville—mighty Snoopy has struck out.

(Just a prediction — I don’t actually remember this arc.)

no pressure

Think Linus would have become a motivational speaker?

“It’s Hero Time” Did Snoopy become Ben 10.

CB is on second? That’s got to be the 9th wonder of the world

Readers under 50 may need to research the phrase “a credit to his race.” It’s a back handed compliment to a “good” African American. Schultz was not at all subtle with this week’s strip. God bless Schultz. Younger people also may not know that many whites were angry with the idea of a Black man breaking the record in 1973.
