Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 18, 2022

how considerate of you, Lucy van Pelt

Lucy showed some humanity Charlie Brown, that is a win!

They always lose the first game. And the second and the third …

And every other game after that.

Maybe Charlie Brown would enjoy tea-ball more than baseball.

The traditional time for afternoon tea is four o’clock. (https://www.etiquettescholar.com/dining_etiquette/tea_etiquette.html)

Since he has the ball on the “Tea”, will he take up golf next?

Hey, Lucy invented T-Ball.

Face reality, CB-you lose EVERY game of the season (except the times when the other team didn’t show up, and you won by forfeit).

Well, well, well! Wonders will never cease! Drink up and go home, CB.

Reminds me of the scene from “A Bridge Too Far”…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKr9eja-1cw

Hopefully she put some sugar in it

Drink up, blockhead.

Guess they wanna play some…tea ball.

There’s a great scene in “A bridge too far” when sean connery’s batman brings him a cup of tea.

“My plans are in ruins, I’ve lost contact with my lead units and I’ve got lunatics laughing at me from the woods. Do you think any of that will be helped by a cup of tea?”

“Couldn’t hurt sir.”

He took the tea.

They found the ball!!! I thought with Charlie’s pitching one of the opposing batters should have put it into low Earth orbit.

Come on, Charley Brown, drink the tea and get on with life.

Pitcher’s Mound might be just a bit above the limit!

CB being treated at opposing sides of humanity here and in Peanuts Begins.

you’re too young for Jack, Charlie

Spitball!

The only time she touched the ball the whole game.

“Sigh” is right…she was almost nice to him…

Actually a good idea. Now he can bring the heat with his next pitch

I hope its darjeeling

Tea and sympathy

It has to be cold out for the tea to offer sufficient comfort.

Shockingly thoughtful…

Schulz was probably tired.

Alternate ending: Don’t you feel better now, Charlie Brown? People always feel better after they’ve been served a cup of tea by a pretty face.

Same reason you always have to lose the second game, the third game, the fourth game, the fifth game, the sixth game…. the third-to-last game, the second-to-last game, and the last game of the season.

Better question at this point, Charlie Brown, why do you think you’ll win ANY game during the season?

Did they have T-ball games when this was written?

I’m a day late but someone was asked, and the answer is no, you don’t say St. Patty’s Day. Patty is Patricia or a burger.

The first game isn’t the only one he needs to be worrying about.

Now she gets the ball.

Everything is better with a nice hot cuppa. Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Charlie Brown – Better to lose the first game than the last game.

Like Sheldon says on Big Bang Theory, you always offer a hot beverage to someone who is upset.

Lucy being nice to Charlie Brown and trying to cheer him up? Is hell freezing?
