Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 08, 2023

Remember those words Chuck, she said deal is a deal.

He tried to warn you

Snoopy still got his talent.

Snoopy will have to start the season on I.R.

“Don’t try to get out of it Chuck! A deal is a deal!” Yeah, a deal that Peppermint Patty made with herself…

Short and wide stop !

Look before you leap P.P.

He looks ready to me!

He may be injured, but he definitely isn’t reserved!

Check the rule book, I don’t recall CB actually agreeing to the deal.

Chuck .. remember the Ferengi 16th Rule of Acquisition: “A deal is a deal… until a better one comes along.”

Snoopy will still do better out there than Lucy ever did.

And PP blames CB in 3…2…1!

deal is a deal-seriously it’s more of a robbery

Looks like Peppermint Patty’s deal just backfired on her;-)

It her eyes it will still be Chuck’s fault.

That shortstop is about ready to stop short.

Bert Sheperd pitched five innings of a game for the Washington Senators in 1945. He had lost a leg in WWII. And Pete Gray, who only had one arm played 77 games in the outfield for the 1945 St. Louis Browns. True story

Panel 4 is a wonderfully hilarious slapstick punchline. Would not be as funny if Peppermint Patty still thinks Snoopy is a stupid looking kid! We’ll have to wait for tomorrow to see what P.P.’s reaction is when she sees him.

You’ll get disqualified for letting a dog in a cast play in the game.

“When I said ‘A deal is a deal is a deal.’, what I meant was—”

He will stop a lot of fly balls with that cast

Now remember, Peppermint Patty. It was YOU who initiated the deal! YOU’RE the one who agreed to the trade!

Cut to Patty’s scowl, and Marcie’s grin.

Cut to Patty’s scowl and Marcie’s grin.

Patty isn’t gonna like what she sees…

Minor setback.

He might have a little trouble ranging to his right…..

It’s not unusual for sports teams to sign or trade for injured players. The assumption, and it’s a perfectly fair one, is that they will eventually recover.

Pattie’s new shortstop even has another large mass to stop ground balls.

There was no deal

Once again patty just HAD to pick the “kid with the funny looking nose”

I bet that stopped Patti short…

Patty should have known better. Teams always make trades contingent on a clean physical.

He’ll never pass the physical…

The cast can be an extra glove.

There was never a deal, Peppermint Patty. For there to have been a deal, Charlie Brown would have been able to talk in order to negotiate. And then he’d have to agree. You never allowed either to happen.

Patty, you have, OH SO RICHLY, earned this.

Snoopy’s probably still better than Marcie.

This is the best stance that Snoopy can give us!!!! I love this doggie (the only one I truly love).
