Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 14, 2022

So instead of playing baseball, she’s “playing pool”?

she is wading to catch the ball!

Good to see Lucy’s finally in the swim of things.

Some like it hot.

I foresee a few popup flies to right field drowning.

So, comparing panel 3 & panel 6, it appears that Lucy has disrobed in order to enjoy the pool. IF a ball were to come her way, she would be ill-prepared to catch it.

Lucy always comes prepared.

She took her clothes off and kept her glove on so if a baseball comes to her, she is ready to catch it…NAKED. Nudism could NEVER be in sports like Hockey or football, You would not know who your opposing team is. Although she did wear her hat, so Hats and gloves are your only necessity. Now single sports, Golf, Bowling, Tennis, ping pong can all be nudists. Jockeys can even be nude as their Horse has a big number on their side. And lets not forget the cheer leaders! This just may be the answer to fill the stands and give a reason for an 18 dollar beer….

Maybe she had a bikini swm suit on for under garaments

Cooler heads prevail

Was she wearing a swimsuit under her dress?

Amazing is a good word for it

Lucy’s found a good way to make a splash in the outfield.

Somebody went to play baseball, and a water polo match broke out!

So now we really know why Charlie is such a poor pitcher – his eyesight! If it can’t even see Lucy’s pool out in the back 40, how is he supposed to pitch a knuckleball to Schroeder?

Illegal water hazard in right field. Game will resume after brief commercial break while it’s moved to Off The Mark golf joke. Resume with Lucy bikini clad looking confused.

Good idea Lucy!

She wouldn’t have been much help anyway. Even if she had been, CB is still pitching, and that’s always a guaranteed loss.
