Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 15, 2020

Clearly from before social distancing.

Which national anthem: th’American or the Canadian as the NHL has teams in both countries (can hardly wait to see Seattle Kraken’s debut next year though).

Only CB, Linus and Schroeder belong on the ice — the others should be off to the side.

Never mind that, where will they find a Zamboni machine small enough to fit in there?

Hockey is not such a big sport in my area of the country. But I would think that Snoopy would be guilty of some sort of sticking penalty when playing on a rink that small, no matter what he did, it would be foul.

Never mind the organ. How will the game commence in a crowded birdbath?

You’ll all just have to hum it (except for Snoopy).

Why is everyone’s eyes closed when the are walking to the “rink”?

One benefit from the ice rink being small and that is it would be hard to kneel during the National Anthem.

You’ll need a bigger birdbath.

“Where do we put the organ for the National Anthem?”

The organ is loud, so it can be heard even though played on the nearby organic farm.

The fact that Charlie Brown is the referee warms my heart every time I see this strip.

Too croweded to “Take a knee” for the anthem !

In a hockey game, what are LINESMEN?

I get it, it’s a sh-rink! :D

And what about the Zamboni?

A tiny one might fit, but everyone wants to have a bigger organ.

If only we had goals.

Not to mention the zamboni.

I love hockey.

We’re gonna need a bigger rink . . .

If you’re ever in Santa Rosa, CA, be sure to visit Snoopy’s Home Ice. It’s an ice skating facility next to the Charles Schultz Museum.

That’s the only problem?

Where do they put the goal boxes?

Her sweet baboo as a linesman? Utterly exciting.

Anybody remember the Mattel Snoopy and Woodstock hockey game besides me?

Well the Official Scorekeeper and Timekeeper usually aren’t on the Ice, but still that won’t lever much room for the Organ.

Don’t even get me started that there isn’t enough room for players to kneel while it is being played!

Good thing this took place back in ‘73… nowadays, they’d need TWO referees along with the linesmen. ;-)

Don’t forget the Zamboni!

I did not know ice hockey had that many officials involved.
