Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 15, 2022

anything to get out of baseball practice or a game, right?

This is the only source for dirt in their whole area?

Hey, 5!

Get Pigpen, he always has dirt to spare.

it’s not like you were really using the mound anyway CB!

Wow!! Original Patty and 555 95472 appear!!

I guess we could say “Charlie Brown is King Of The Hill.”

Wasn’t there a song by Peter Gabriel called “Digging In The Dirt?”

Flowers in the dirt (PM)

If it’s in a flower pot, your garden, lawn or window box, it’s not dirt; it’s soil.

But, but, but it is SINCERE DIRT, which is the best type for growing flowers, vegetables and various container plants.

Without a proper pitcher’s mound, how will Chuck be able to pitch? ……Lol

Soon, there won’t be any room for CB to stand on!

We hope you don’t mind, Charlie Brown, but you’re such a Milquetoast that we didn’t think we needed to ask beforehand.

I know the kid in the stripes is Linus, but who are those other three?

I need some dirt for my gossip.

By this point, the art had become very two dimensional, and set pieces like the pitcher’s mound appeared flat- or no more than a ridge. Based on the holes, it doesn’t seem to be a fully circular mound. Or else the kids cut ridges through it diameter-wise.

Maybe you’ll pitch better now, Charlie Brown…. nah! Most likely not!

Oh, good grief!

Well, at least Sherman didn’t steal any mound dirt!

sadly, it can only improve his pitching

CB looks like he minds! Ha

Oh, yeah. Screensh!t this one!!

It looks like he’s standing on the head of a punk rocker

Hey, you little brats! At least you could have smoothd it out and left it usable!

Better at gardening than at playing baseball.

All those dirt needs are grown up needs, not kids needs.

A different generation for sure! Imagine telling a kid today to go over to the ball field and bring back a shovel full of dirt!

On a historical basis,this may be the last appearance of “5”,who had faded out of the strip long ago.

And on the first pitch of the game,Charlie Brown topples into the deep crevice,never to be seen again.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Did the strip ever say who owns or maintains the baseball field ?

Not a good start to the season Chuck, but the team did find a better use for your pitchers mound. Also, a lower mound may make you a more difficult target for hitters.

how did he climb till the top. And what is this dirt instead of mud or soil.

Just smooth it out, that mound was too high anyway.

They all may be putting the dirt to better use.

Now Charlie Brown’s mound looks like Swiss cheese!
