Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 17, 2022

Who would have thought there would be a time where Lucy would be a better fielder than Linus (of course, Lucy isn’t pining over a lost love [https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/2022/04/16?ct=v&cti=2208697])

Raindrops keep falling on my head….

“Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain, telling me just what a fool I’ve been.” ~The Cascades

(And what a fool you’ve been Charlie Brown.

)

That’s got to be one sharp umbrella tip. Be careful not to upset her CB!

Sheesh stop your griping Charlie Brown. At least you got one runner out!

You play for peanuts, you play in the rain. You play for MLB you make millions and don’t play in rain.

Is this spiking the ball?

Do the dates usually line up? And when was this strip from?

Happy Easter, everyone, from the Easter Beagle.

“Well.”

Wheres the Easter Beagle?? Ugh!! So disappointed!!

I wonder when the Easter Beagle was introduced in the strip.

Charlie Brown is optimistic some times …

Bad grammar. Should be: "I can’t even criticize “well”.

Charlie Brown, you don’t want your team to get sick, do you?

I don’t really know the rules of baseball, but I’d guess that this exact situation isn’t covered.

Don’t complain. At least she caught it.

So… Does this mean they actually got the batter out? Technically, she did catch a pop fly.

No, Charlie Brown. You can’t even criticize well.

Casey Stengel got tossed from a game for going to talk to his pitcher with and umbrella.

Now they need a new ball. That one has a big hole in it.

Next time, make Lucy use an umbrella instead of a glove. Just… don’t make her angry.

That’s better than catching a baseball with your baseball glove?

He’s doing much better than yesterday

Well, Charlie Brown. You can’t even criticize well.

She should have turned the umbrella upside down for an easy catch.

You got that right, blockhead.

I once saw Pete Rose playing 3rd base and throw his glove up in the air about 15 feet to stop a line drive, which then dropped down and he caught it bare handed. Yes – it did count as an out.

Charlie, you’ve been owned. (And since there was no Easter Beagle today, have a Happy Easter one and all.)

Does that count?

Yer out!!! One down, two to go. Lucy “umbrella glove” Van Pelt.

Best part is, the resulting hole will add some wicked movement to his curve ball…

That’s WELL, Charlie Brown.

LOL – (for all you word smiths – thbbbbtthbbbb) – and take heart, Charlie Brown, for no one can critizes well in the world – even though it seems like everyone tries as hard as they can to criticize everyone and everything in this cancel culture, social media stupidity of humanity’s arrogant existance.

You can’t even criticize WELL.

She can be replaced by an open umbrella. At least it can catch.

She finally caught something. Sort of ; )

“Raindrops keep falling on my head, but that doesn’t mean my um-brella’s turning red…” Apologies to B.J. Thomas!

I wonder… was this the only time she ever caught the ball?

That umbrella is an improvement on Lucy. She needs to be encouraged captain.

CB hasn’t the sense to get out of the rain.
