Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 15, 2022

hopefully not Linus’s sister Lucy; she’ll have the fly balls land right behind her (as always)

That’s true. Not even Schroeder has to catch line drives because Charlie Brown’s pitches are too busy getting hammered into the next county.

Linus is hoping for a rain out…to help hide his tears!

Or her eyes.

At least that makes Linus no different than the rest of the team.

Charlie Brown: “Our team sucks! Especially your sister!”

Lucy: “Learn to PITCH, Blockhead!”

Charlie Brown: “Learn to SHUT UP!”

I know it never could have happened in the real strip, but can you imagine?

“Especially your sister!”

Charlie Brown should tell him that there’s no crying in baseball

Do these kids ever practice? I seem to remember Charlie hitting them a few liners, but I could be mistaken.

Then prepare to catch the next one in the teeth

Happy Jackie Robinson Day.

Pirates? Orioles?

Line drive? More like a line roll.

I thought Linus was the catcher?

Brief love affairs will make up some of your best memories as you get older.

Wait, besides Snoopy you have someone whao could catch a line drive? It’s certainly not Lucy, she can’t even catch a ground ball moving a mere 1/128th of a mile an hour.

Not who you should ask for sympathy, Linus.

Always the smart Linus. Asking someone who knows about the subject too well.
